Boat Details
Description
This Marine Management boat is a Heavily Built passenger vessel with USCG Certification for 42 passengers and 2 crew. It has spent it's lifetime working as a dive boat and passenger ferry. The hull is solid fiberglass semi displacement with a skeg rudder and very sound. It needs some cosmetic work and a few repairs to be ready for it's next job. The boat is currently on jack stands in the yard for the winter.
The current owner purchased the boat to run water taxi service in Puerto Rico. He purchased two running task out engines as spares to ship down with the boat. But before the boat left he found an existing business at a bargain and purchased it. The spare engines are included in the purchase.
