This boat had interested me.  The hull design is from the C Dory group
(before being sold to C Dory Marine Group, current producers by of the Tom
Cat's.  These hulls have been used in the charter business before the molds
were acquired by Blackfeather boats.

The problem with the boat for us, was the beam: 10' 6"--and that could be  a
problem if we wanted to trailer the boat.  The cruising models were not yet
made (last year)--and the quote at that time was going to be about $200,000
bare boat with two 225 hp engines.

The claims for fuel economy would have to be confirmed with loads, but the
boats have been in charter work in the past.
