"The Captain and the Kid" is very well equipped and FULLY SERVICED!!
She is Ready to be Enjoyed by her next owners!!
Her traditional exterior profile belies the contemporary performances of her vee-hull. She cruises at 27 knots and at wide open throttle she'll attain more than 32 knots. With the Zeus pod drive system, turns at speed are as exciting as they are in a fine sports car but perhaps even more exhilarating is the quiet that one experiences at cruise speeds. The joystick and Skyhook operations give every Captain the confidence to dock her in the most difficult of circumstances.
