1997 Custom custom

This 26-foot fiberglass cruiser began life in 1969 as a U.S. Coast Guard Motor Surf Boat, designed for rescue operations in conditions that challenge ordinary recreational craft. It was professionally remanufactured and retitled in 1997. The boat is powered by a Cummins 4BTA turbo diesel engine installed in 2007, paired with a 30-gallon fuel tank. At cruise speed of roughly 7 mph, fuel consumption is approximately 1 gallon per hour; at higher speeds around 17.6 mph, consumption rises to about 6.2 gallons per hour. Maximum speed reaches just over 16 knots. The hull design provides exceptional stability and handles rough water and wakes with ease despite its weight of approximately 7,000 pounds.

Accommodations and layout details are not specified in available documentation. The boat features a custom full top, DECKadance marine flooring with integrated drainage, a Garmin chartplotter with depth finder, Bluetooth stereo, VHF radio, and a dual 12-volt battery system. Structural improvements include a fiberglass-encapsulated keel and professional Awlgrip paint applied approximately two years ago with fresh bottom paint.

Recent maintenance and upgrades completed in 2025 include a new turbocharger, remanufactured raw-water cooler, new alternator, new starter, new batteries, and new battery charger. A double-axle aluminum trailer is included.
