2024 Liquid Metal Marine 23 Quatsino

This 2024 Liquid Metal Marine 23 Quatsino is a purpose-built aluminum runabout designed and constructed in Sidney, BC for West Coast coastal operation. At 25'6" overall with an 8'3" beam, the boat features a heavy-gauge 5086 marine-grade aluminum hull with reverse chine design, lifting strakes, and approximately 21° of deadrise at the transom—engineering that delivers a dry, stable ride in demanding conditions. Power comes from a Mercury 300 HP outboard with only 28 hours of use, backed by factory warranty through July 2027.

The helm station integrates a comprehensive electronics package: Simrad NSS12 Evo3 MFD, Simrad RS40 VHF radio, Airmar SS60 transducer, and Zipwake dynamic trim control. Dual Shockwave S5 suspension seats at helm and navigator position provide comfort and control in rough conditions. Dual battery setup with automatic changeover relay, high-capacity bilge system with backup pump, and raw water washdown round out the functional infrastructure.

Layout and accommodation reflect practical design for extended time on the water. The bow features integrated seating with cushions and storage, while dual aft-facing seats with armrests occupy the cockpit. A walk-through windshield with wipers and washdown capability, boarding ladder, and dual transom access doors provide easy movement. An enclosed head with sink and fresh water system adds comfort for longer operations. Storage compartments, rod holders, and under-gunwale lockers manage gear efficiently. Flexiteek 2G decking spans the working surfaces. Fuel capacity is 344 liters; fresh water capacity is 45 liters. Equipment includes a Fortress anchor with chain and rode, SeaLand porta-potti, and a 2021 Caravan Hydra Star trailer.
