This classic design canoe stern fiberglass trawler built in Maryland has had numerous upgrades to make the boat self-sufficient away from the dock with a gas stove with oven, a 110/12 volt refrigerator, an auxiliary 200 amp belt driven alternator off the main engine, an inverter for 110 volt without the generator and large portholes and windows for natural ventilation. The owner recently moved the boat from Jamaica to Florida running at 1660 RPM going 7.5 knots and using about 3 gallons per hour. The engine is a naturally aspirated Caterpillar 3208 rated at only 210 horse power, much less than the popular 375 HP turbocharged models with the same block. Most lighting has been replaced with LED lights, new headliners in 2007, upgraded galley in 2007.
