The Little Harbor WhisperJet 55 "GOOD SHIP" is a rare, high-performance yacht designed by the legendary Ted Hood. Known for its "shoal draft" capability and Downeast elegance, the 55 was the flagship of the WhisperJet line before the brand was eventually absorbed by Hinckley.

Technical Specifications
* Designer: Ted Hood
* Length Overall (LOA): 55' 3" (16.84 m)
* Beam: 16' 9" (5.11 m)
* Draft: 2' 6" (0.76 m) - Incredibly shallow for a 55ft yacht, allowing access to skinny water.
* Displacement: ~57,000 lbs
* Hull Type: Deep-V Composite
* Fuel Capacity: 1,200 gallons
* Water Capacity: 200 gallons


Propulsion & Performance
The defining feature of this boat is its waterjet propulsion, which eliminates traditional props and rudders to reduce drag and avoid underwater hazards.


* Engines: Twin 12 Cylinder 1300 HP MAN DE2842LE404 Series Diesels

* Engine Serial Numbers: Port # 7019584156A201 & Starboard # 7019584155A201

* Transmissions: ZF Model BW165P3: Ratio 1.11-1

* Drives: Hamilton 422 Jet drives

* Generator: Northern Lights 15.0 KW, Model PX312K, Serial # K02075

* Reasonable Cruising Speed: ~28-32 knots.
* Fast Cruising Speed: ~36-40 knots !


Notable Features
* Custom enclosed pilothouse added in 2020, offering excellent 360-degree visibility.

* Stealth & Silence: True to the name "WhisperJet," the engine rooms were heavily insulated and the exhaust systems designed to be exceptionally quiet.

* Accommodations: Featuring a two cabin layout with a spacious master suite with ensuite head. Guest cabin is aft to Port. This is a galley-down configuration, with a large dinette. High-end teak/cherry joiner work.

* Rarity: Very few WhisperJet 55s were ever produced, making them highly sought after on the brokerage market - often seen as "modern classics. Because they were built with premium materials, they hold up well! Replacement value on a vessel like this would certainly be in the 2 to 3 Million dollar range, depending on where it is built. This is a American made vessel.
