If you wanted to see the boat and ride on it and see the changes let me know, I can make it happen The river boat we built has performed very well and has replaced 2 of the Department other boats…So far the boat has rescued over a 150 people in the Yakima River. I cruise at 22 kn per hour at 1875 rpm on a Cummins 305… The boat is capable of a much higher cruising speed but that seems to be a sweet spot for economy and moderate speed. I am really pleased with the performance and get lots of compliments on the boats lines. However few people understand what a boat like this will cost to build. The tunnel height is very important in rough seas… I have been in real rough water with green water going over the cabin. I have had great interest in this boat everywhere we go. It was built by Glegor Marine Construction out of Astoria, OR" The bow is designed so the spray goes away from the boat. You can put 6 clients on the rail and it won't role. The boat has excellent stability for anchor fishing. "I believe it's as good as it gets as a guide boat. Jasper Vermeulen, British Columbia., Canada Jasper Marine chose this design for its proven sea handling, robust construction, and outstanding fit during construction. Jasper Marine won pacific yachting’s award “Best in Show : Metal Boat 2018” at the Vancouver International Boat Show for their LC23 which is Based on SPECMAR INC’s 23ft Wide Landing Craft (611). They have been great to follow, and we are excited for the day.
We are trying to document the project as the plans set out. I want to reach out and thank you for being so precise and professional! We finally have reached time to attack this project and due to your precision we are cooking along nicely. Ian Gracey | Project Manager Silverback Marine, Seattle, WA These little kits work great for us in between our barges and other builds. We would love to build more of these, if you know of anyone looking for a turn key cut, fold, weld vendor we would welcome and appreciate your referrals. So far all CNC files cut perfect, parts fit perfect, layup is logical. Hello team, Just a quick thank you for yet another enjoyable, painless, seamless kit project. 25 knots comfortably into a strong wind and fairly heavy chop offshore. On the river 38 knots WOT light ship, 35 knots with 1000 kg and 4 adults. Testing today with 2X Suzuki 115's and I am very happy. Handles better than a lot of fiberglass boats that I’ve had that were in the 24’ to 26’ range.
I have been in 4’ seas with it and would have no problem being in 6’ seas with it. Some people said I was crazy to put my steering station so close to the front but this boat handles so great it doesn’t matter and I maximized my deck space. On average, I am burning about 7.4 gallons an hour cruising at 32 mph. I ended up buying a 115 Yamaha outboard with a 12 5/8x 21 pitch prop. Everything fit perfect and after I was done building it, it performed even better. But this was a whole different experience. I have been a part of building boats from scratch. Just wanted to touch base with your company and let them know how impressed I am with it. I’ve talked with other Specmar builders, and all agree it’s a great product! I’m very happy with Naimor, and the package survived being dropped by the shipping yard when I went to pick up the package in Seward, Ak. We plan on installing at least two more strongbacks and bolting those to the floor to stabilize the boat for the weld. We’ll have that to measure and pull off of. Temp welding strongbacks and anchoring it to the floor with turnbuckles. We are setting the transom, getting it level and square and plumb. So we did it on all, just to avoid any uneven fitting. The knuckles needed to be squared at the bottom of a couple. The kit is very easy to understand, and the fit is quite amazing. I am quite amazed at the level of thought that went into the parts. 80 miles to ocean and back loaded- 34 gallons! Your modifications made the best boat in the fleet! Super strong!! It cruises at 34 mile per hour- top speed 46 mile per hour.
