This 54-foot custom water-jet express is currently under construction at Lyman Morse Boatbuilding in Thomaston, Maine, and was selected as Southern Boating's Designer's Choice, June 2008.
 View construction photos.
Twin Caterpillar C18s (1001 BHP) coupled with Hamilton HJ403 water-jets will give a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speeds in excess of 30 knots. Construction is infused FRP composite with CoreCell PVC foam core. Water-jet propulsion means that this vessel will have an operating draft of approximately three feet, or roughly one and one-half feet less than a propeller-driven yacht of comparable size and type.
Accommodations include an owner's cabin with en-suite head and an office which converts to a guest cabin, also with its own head. The spacious, near-flush aft deck conceals a tender garage which accommodates an 11-foot RIB.
