It is the intent of these brand name or equal salient characteristics to describe the general design and function required for an outboard motor power driven aluminum mono/deep–V hull, enclosed cabin vessel (hereafter referred to as the ‘boat’) capable of performing the following functions:

(Please note that for the purposes of design and operation, the US Geological Survey defines this class of ‘workboat’ vessel (under 26 ft) as a pleasure craft (“not to carry passengers for hire or warships…”), as opposed to Commercial Vessel, and therefore would follow USCG recommendations/certifications for vessel design of this nature.)
