A. HULL: This vessel is to be an aluminum “catamaran” hull type. Plate thicknesses shall be at least 3/16”. The length of the vessel is to be no less than 24 feet and no more than 25.5 feet from bow to transom, excluding propulsion mounting platform. The beam of the vessel is to be 8 feet 6 inches, and the vessel and trailer combination shall not exceed a maximum width of 8 feet 6 inches. The hull depth shall be 48 inches and the vessel’s draft shall not exceed 24 inches when loaded. The “catamaran” hull shall have keel and chine doublers running from the bow and extending at least one third of the length of the vessel. The hull shall have four 10” stainless or aluminum cleats, one located at each corner of the hull mounted on the deck. Two fender cleats shall be located at the center of the vessel on each side. The vessel shall have a heavy duty 3 inch d-shape rubber bumper that goes around the entire periphery of the deck, where the deck and the hull meet. The cabin shall also have roof mounted handrails to facilitate movement of personnel around the cabin of the vessel.

The hull shall have a cabin with interior dimensions of at least 10’ x 7’ with a minimum of 6’ headroom, to accommodate a crew of three (3). The cabin shall have a water tight front door and solid aft cabin bulkhead with water tight door. Recessed wells shall be provided on each side of the hull for storage of the booms when not surveying. After launching the vessel, the operator will be able to use the hydraulic controls to swing the booms out horizontally, lower the struts to their proper operating position, adjust the struts to the proper depth, and use a brake system to keep the booms in place while surveying and when recessed for travelling. The vessel shall have two electric bilge pumps, with automatic switches, sized appropriately for the vessels. The vessels shall also have a manual bilge pump with suction strainer and hose. The vessel shall be equipped with standard USCG approved navigational lighting configuration. The main fuel tank(s) shall have a minimum capacity of 100 gallons of gasoline for the vessel.
