1969 Other Alcan 440 CGV Boat in Ottawa, ON CA

Alcan is historically renowned for pioneering durable, commercial-grade aluminum vessel construction. Celebrated for exceptional structural integrity, superior corrosion resistance, and lightweight yet incredibly robust hulls, Alcan vessels were the premier choice for demanding government, military, and commercial applications. Built to handle rough waters with ease, these low-maintenance hulls offer a lifetime of structural reliability that fiberglass simply cannot match. "SOTERIA" features a truly unique, one-of-a-kind configuration stemming from a dedicated history of service and thoughtful modern updates. Originally commissioned with an open layout and inboard shaft drives, a comprehensive 1989 refit added the commanding, fully enclosed upper wheelhouse and upgraded the propulsion to twin Volvo Penta diesel stern drives alongside larger diesel tanks. The layout boasts a massive, safe, and versatile aft work deck that transitions seamlessly into a secure, weather-protected pilot house-perfect for navigating diverse waterways in complete comfort.
