Inter Nos PZ46

The New Maxus Fast Catamaran is almost complete. Gerry and his team have worked around the clock to complete this boat in time for the Aberdeen Expo on 12th and 13th May 2023.

Built  for Richard Hards and George Jacks of Pecheurs Eccosse Ltd, Sharon Anne provides a roomy and stable fishing platform with ample carrying capacity.

One of Sharon Anne’s six-cylinder, Cummins QSL9 engines

The Maxus 12-metre design has been developed by builder G Smyth Boats, who have delivered a boat with an outstandingly high quality finish, both interior and exterior.

Each hull is fitted with a six-cylinder, Cummins QSL9 diesel turning a 34 by 36-inch four-bladed Hyperform prop on 2.5-inch shafts through ZF gearboxes with 3:1 reduction. Delivering 290hp at 1800rpm each, these engines provide an 8.50-knot cruising speed.

The engines and gears were supplied by South Shore Marine & Diesel of Oxford Island in Northern Ireland.

Each hull has a 1500 litre fuel tank, as well as freshwater tanks.

The engines also provide ample hydraulic power to a pair of SeaQuest 3-tonne trawl winches and a pair of 2-tonne net drums. There is also a landing winch to round out the deck equipment for the boat’s trawl and creel fishing.

The refrigeration system was supplied by Cool Temp Refrigeration Markethill.

Our second B46 Fit out. This one for owner Ian Mathieson of Scotland.
