27.5 Foot Alaskan Commuter
A design by Rick Welin ( metalboatkits.com ) this welded aluminum multipurpose cabin cruiser was developed through conversation with an Alaskan customer who needs to commute 80 miles to the nearest store, by water, in all weather, and all seasons in Alaska!
She's 27.5' LOD 10' BEAM with a large chine flat that runs all the way fwd for knocking down spray. The hull is a moderate vee at about 17 degrees deadrise at the stern.
The bottom
plating is 1/4" and the topsides 3/16" ,so she will be tough
all over. . ... She is based on local , pacific northwest , crew boats
that have evolved over decades for the local logging industry , so there's
no experimental stuff .... Fast and tough.
The engine compartment is set up for a Volvo KAD 44Duo Prop diesel (290 hp) for the ultimate in power and dependability. The reverse sloping " pacific north west" windscreen stays drier and reduces glare.
The
conical bow section allows the topside plating to flare out more in
the bow than traditional bow shapes to further knock down spray.
