Here is a photo of the Nekton Pilot in dry dock. The vessel is located in Port St. Joe, Florida. The site is Gulf County Shipbuilding.

Thanks for sharing the photo.
To say that boat is ungraceful looking is an understatement.

To quote the captain - it's ugly - but it's slow.

Ugly?! It is a beautiful model of stability and functionality. Look at all the useful space on that thing. Hot crap, that's awesome.

Great photo. They are getting all fixed up for my 10/27 trip!! Maybe Pam can tell us if anything major is on the upgrade list for this year???

And when it's all worn out, remove the hulls and convert it to condos...

They're still working on her and I don't know the upgrades yet. This is a big year (out of water Coast Guard inspection) and normally the major improvements are done in the small year (in water Coast Guard inspection). I'll ask the boss when he returns from the shipyard and let you know. I was on her the 9/1 Cay Sal trip and she was still in pretty good shape from last year's redo. She's never going to be beautiful but she's great to dive from.....

....comfortable. Have done 2 trips on it and wouldn't hesitate to do more.
