This new design at 18m(on deck) will incorporate many of the features designed into earlier sport fisher designs. The hull form for instance is medium vee developing out to large chine flats and generous waterline beam aft for excellent stability. The fine entry insures soft head sea performance with wide silent chine’s and generous flair to keep the vessel dry while under way. The propellers run in tunnels to increase performance and efficiency and reduce overall draft. All of the above are the key ingredients for the outstanding performance we have achieved in the 65’ Lady Alison and Huntress designs.
There are two base layouts available, which can be manipulated to cover almost any interior requirements. Both layouts feature a raised mezzanine cockpit with alfresco dinette and either internal or external bridge access.
These vessels will be built on a custom basis therefore giving complete flexibility that cannot be offered by any production boat of this type or size Power requirement is from 750hp per side through to twin 1200hp which would produce speeds approaching 38knts.
