Seller wants $90K, down from $100K. It does have USCG stamped plans for 24 pax and out 20 miles, but owner never did go for COI. I can do that. I suspect it only needs new application for inspection, deadweight survey and stability calcs. I will assist with those.
It is demountable and does all fit into one container except the mast. Is here in Washington state but can be shipped anywhere. Contact me at 206-284-6346 or at khughes@multihulldesigns.com
Look how narrow overall it is for its 45′ length. Only 14.4′. It looks like a powercat designed by guys who were chopper-gunning truck bed covers just a few years ago. Not only do the sum of the hull widths look like they are about half the beam overall, it has planing speedboat bows for displacement boat speeds. No wonder it took twice 225 hp to go 20 knots! A 45′ cat that I or Roger (Hatfield) or even Gino would design would do that 20 knots with about 80 hp per side. Certainly not over 100 hp per side.
The narrow overall beam shouts beginner to me.
Yesterday I got to meet the crew of Teralani 3, another KHSD 65′ x 36′ daycharter cat on Maui. Again I was very impressed with the boat. The builder had delivered it to them in a very unfinished state some 5 years ago. They have finished it to top shape. They are more of a true sailing charter than many others. Passengers load from the beach. Very nice. See http://www.teralani.net/
for Charles and any others. These tops on small day cats provide shade without too much windage and weight. Of course they can be built larger, but these are working for people.on a 42 cat on a 36 day cat and the 36 from another direction
I had forgotten there was a brave daycharter company operating right up in Blaine, Washington. They use one of my 36′ charter boats in a box. Bring your warm coat. See http://rapscallionsailcharters.com/index.html
Drawings posted soon. This project is why this blog and all my other work got neglected for a while. Deadline was today.
