This boat is designed by Kurt Hughes who is currently deep into designing my 50' pilot house, power cat, LEVITATION... He can be found at : http://www.multihulldesigns.com/ Some of the interesting <to me> features I am planning and designing into Levitation are: *Layout optimized for a cruising couple with occasional guests *Shallow draft to open more cruising and anchoring areas *Completely independent of shorepower (not even a shore plug on the boat) *Two separate engine systems - 1 for high speed running and maneuvering 1 for very high efficiency cruising *High efficiency internal and external lighting DC fluorescent cabin lighting LED task lighting LED running lights *Super insulated large refrigerator and freezer, top loading for efficiency With a small front opening frig at the cooking counter (sorta like a day tank) *Small fresh water tank with RO water maker, so it's alway fresh *Large holding tanks to minimize pump outs *No thruhull openings below the waterline - zero, zip, nada. *Solar panels to maintain battery set High efficiency DC alternator driven by main engine for rapid charging DC alternator doubles as a welding machine Silent power, 1500 watt, generator as the power source of last resort and for when you just gotta have a fix of city fumes! *Boat built in a combination of WEST System and fiberglass composite Using each material where it makes the most sense *Single con station <the pilot house> Makes no sense to me to have double or triple steering and electronics Pilot house windows will open for that fly bridge sensation *Work shop with a small drill press / lathe / welder / air compressor Lots more details, but this should be enough to bore the list into somnolence...
