85' Passenger Ferry Catamaran

A 85' passenger ferry catamaran built in composite materials.
This 85' passenger ferry catamaran design is designed to carry 149 passengers on day trips.  The very efficient beach cat type hulls take very little power and generate virtually no wake.  1360 hp per side gives 37 knots speed.   Construction is foam/glass.

This catamaran design takes fullest advantage of platen flat panel construction with a vacuum bagging table.  The house is assembled from flat panels, like a tilt-up building.  There is no faster way construct composite cats, this side of having the molds already. See the link tiltup.
