AmeraCat 31 dive boat

[Jim C]

Most of our boating is Spearfishing so I'm rigging this to be a great dive boat. The transom will have a walk thru with an automatic lifting ladder (no more forgetting the ladder).

I it will hold a minimum of 14 tanks in the center of the boat on a bench with room for 4 more on the back of the bench on the floor (no more tanks on the gunnel getting in the way of other activities). Potentially room on the bench for 4 rigged BC's.

The boat will be an Xpress Pilothouse which will be a small forward cabin to give protection from inclement weather when running.

Looks like it'll be a sweet dive boat. What do you plan to power it with?

We were looking at the C-Dory Tom Cat The TomCat Catamaran is an open water boat - great for cruising, fishing or diving.
But ended up with one of their 25 cruisers instead. We've been very happy with the boat but I do kick myself now and then for letting the Tom Cat go...

Enjoy the diving...
