WHISTLER Launch Is Thursday, May 14th

Talk about diversity.

Last month we launched a carbon fiber catamaran and this month we're launching a twin jet express cruiser . Though entirely different, they do share one thing in common... both are amazingly beautiful yachts we're excited to add to our repertoire!



We'll cover the remarkable performance we've seen with the cat over the past several test sails in an upcoming post, but today is dedicated to Thursday's launch. WHISTLER is a a 54' C. Raymond Hunt design which makes her our largest jet boat to date.

Perhaps one of the most exciting features of WHISTLER is her dinghy "garage". The hydraulic gate and sled which extend out over the jets will allow the owner to launch the 10' tender from the interior storage compartment with the push of a button. Powered by twin 1001 hp Caterpillar C-18s coupled with Hamilton HJ403 water-jets, WHISTLER will cruise in the low 30s with a max speed of 35 knots. She features the fly-by-wire Blue Arrow electronic control system with mouse and joystick for steering and docking ease.



The interior is finished in mahogany with walnut and white Formica accents. Accommodations include an owner's cabin with en-suite head and an office which converts to a guest cabin, also with its own head. Granite galley countertops, maple soles, a lifting 32" television with DirecTV and electric grill help round out the contemporary design. She is also our first new build to use Alexseal paint; her hull is a beautiful Dark Gray with Pegasus Gray pilot house and topsides.

Pictures will be posted after Thursday's launch so you can see the interior and exterior details. Check back soon!
