Hi Mark,


Diligence, an '02, 34' Seahorse "John Henry" is my vessel. * She has a 71hp Westerbeke, with 300 gal fuel, and 180 gal of water. *She's a 6.7 - 7 knot boat, has a steel hull and glass house.


We've not cruised her much, maybe a few weeks a year. *Her primary use is my office / apt while I teach a 100 ton Master CG licensing class at various locations around the Salish Sea.


From May - August, she's in Friday Harbor, where I work as a*Commercial*Assistance Towing Captain.


Seahorse made two 34' John Henry's before changing the same hull to a 35' Coot.

It's good to hear from you, Richard.**My 35-foot Coot will have an 80-horsepower (model 4045) John Deere diesel.* Tankage is slightly larger at 390 gallons fuel and 210 gallons water.* I expect it to be 7.0- to 7.5-knot boat.

An office?* Maybe*you're why the standard saloon option includes a desk.* A fellow in Seattle is also having a Coot built.* Instead of a desk, he's getting a house-sized freezer/refrigerator.
