- 27 H&H with Cummins QSB 5.9 480 power
For those interested in west coast style building !!!
Here ya go !
This boat was built from inside the bare hull up in 1995/1996 and a Cummins 6CTA 400C / ZF302 IV installed in it.
In 2001, the 400C was pulled and a QSM11 & a much bigger v-drive/power train installed.
Dec 07, the boat was re-powered again with a QSM11 610.
The QSM is still in the boat with about 5000 hours on it.. Last year the boat sold to a new owner and over the last year the boat was tricked out California style and upgraded w/ a new NL generator and some other gingerbread..
The boat spent the last 17-18 yrs as a high-end / high tech sea urchin commercial dive boat.. Now it’s a recreational dive boat that can still do some serious work, get the owner anywhere he wants to go even in crap weather at 25 knots. Nice rig!
This boat has a serious big leveage steering out back.
Nothing like this out our way on the east coast!
Must be the 24/7 following seas out of the coast of southern CA.
