KAD 300 single diesel. cruise 24-26mph wot 31-33mph. 240 gal of fuel, advertised range 700 miles, realistic range: 550 or so/ 70 gal water, fridge/sink/stove/microwave/bev. cooler/ AC/HEAT/ 110/12/2500watt inverter / head/shower/v birth/rear berth/2 huge fish boxes/ live well/ tackle station/ lots of storage, outside and inside.
Odd looking boat but very practical for my needs and type of of fishing. <10 made with house, most had walk thru CC and tower.
It is no luxury yacht and does not scream across the water but it is pretty comfortable esp in the weather we tend to get here.
Great boat for a 2-4 guys fishing and/or overnight at some distant port. I re-did the inside a bit last winter and did a lot of work in the engine room area.This winter I am thinking of completing some unfinished projects starting a few more and adding a few more goodies.
I get a lot of comments about it, more than any boat I have owned

God damn I love your boat. I loved it the first time you posted pics and it still looks like a monster that could handle anything.

No boat, back in the suds.

I just pulled the trigger on a 2012 C-Hawk 25 foot center console. Will be named the "Courtney Lynn" after my better half. I think the length is 24'10", beam is 9'6". This is a photo of the stock hull, I'm having mine customized a bit for fishing/diving/family friendliness. Adding a bowrail, adding a huge casting deck/sunpad in the bow with bow dodger, enclosed transom with bracket in back. Adding power when the hull is shipped here in June 2012. SHould serve as a functional platform for 3/4 guys throwing eels and plugs, or for when I'm playing with the wife, 3 sons, and the golden retriever, who is 12 and I pray he hangs around long enough to enjoy this boat.
Love the Sea Hunts. And you don't see too many Key Largos. I kept my Key West boat at a marina in CT that sold Key Largos, the owner took me for a ride in the 23 center, supposedly the same mold as a sea craft?

A good run is better than a bad stand!
