As part of our Career Connect Washington Maritime Sector ongoing work, we actively track, document, and inform about emerging technologies and trends. Brix Marine, Port Angeles, Wash., is wrapping-up an order for two aluminum 46'x15'7" tour boats for Blue and Gold Fleet, San Francisco. In addition to each boat’s 49 passengers, the vessels carry two-person crews.
The boats’ hull skins are made of 5086 alloy aluminum while the yellow Naiad D-shaped, outer foam collars are made of heavy-duty Erez with a double black PVC rub strip.
Main propulsion for each tour boat comes from four COX CXO300 4.4-liter, twin turbo V8 diesel electric outboards with stainless steel props. The mains are connected to a Seastar Optimus quad outboard steering system.
