I would also suggest that the fuel burn is / side
I don't think so. Using one engine's fuel burn to calculate NMPG certainly wouldn't make sense. They're quoting just shy of 50 gal/hr at WOT, which is about right for total burn at WOT with 2x 500hp diesels.
It's a longer boat than yours. Relative to hull speed, 7.5 kts is fast for a 41 footer (with probably a 35 - 37 foot waterline), but that same 7.5 kts is reasonably slow for a 55 footer with probably a 50-ish foot waterline. Slow your boat down to 6.5 kts or a little less (similar speed relative to hull speed) and I bet your fuel economy will improve significantly.
Here’s a “Cheap” project for someone. Needs a little tlc ad says. [emoji848]
Single Cummins, variable pitch prop, heavy fiberglass hull. Pretty cool!

Why would it have dual controls and gauges with a single shaft and prop?
Something doesn’t seem right….
This is a boat I saw in Ketchikan, finally got around to googling it. Hardy souls who take on adventures such as this. Have to admire them.

"One of Only Two Seaton Cruising Trawlers Built by Mar Marine of Danbury, CT"
Lived in CT all my life and worked a long time in Danbury. Never heard or Mar Marine. Also Danbury is land-locked, seems a strange place to build large trawlers.
Compare it to Lilliana listed in our own for sale forum.
Were they still being manufactured by Willard Marine in 2002?
Adopo, it was called a Z Drive. I saw one in this marina and the owner was happy to show me the drive.

The Capehorn was a beautiful boat and never could figure out why the boat never really caught on.
Too expensive for many since they were so overbuilt. About the best out there.
I've always liked this model Offshore, kudos to the photographer. I wonder if it is as clean as it looks.

I really like these as well. The few I've been on seem to be very well built and laid out nice. I've tracked them over the years as it may be an option in the future. Always surprised at the cost difference from the yachtfisher and sedan model, usually 100K+
You are correct, it is a very beautiful boat and over built.
A boat of this quality deserves to be 'at sea'.
There are one or two used ones on the market. Just no interest on my part. I am about at the end of my boating plus I own my AT 34. SMILE
Greetings,
Interesting anecdote about Cape Horns. We went on board one at FLIBS (Fort Lauderdale International Boats Show) the first year CH's were on the market. Dear Mr. Sever wouldn't even talk to us. Well, Mr. Sever, IF we ever won the lottery you can be DAMN sure CH wouldn't be on our wish list.
Dan - your AT 34 owns you! That is obvious... pretty cool too!!
