Everything is set for her short trip from our yard to Journey's End marina early on Tuesday morning. With the white boot stripe on her hull we can now see the true beauty of her lines and oh my, she is certainly striking. Or as our advertising creative fellow once suggested, "She'll turn heads in any Hahbah !"
But chances are that ona cold January morning there will only be the local lobstermen, the Coast Guard crew based in Rockland and maybe the crew of the Vinelhaven ferry to gawk at her.
Last week the mechanical crew started the engine and the gen set and ran all of her systems as we do with all boats prior to their departure for their dealerships. Everything checked out just fine. I snapped this shot of the back of the house to show the ease of access the engine room. The wide-opening doors make all the difference. The helm deck has two gas shocks and a switch operated electric ram to lift it into the open position. Yes there are two guys in there with those 600 horses !
