Specifications
Twin Caterpillar 3116 Diesels

The Expensive Work
Is Already Done.
Most comparable Albemarles still need the big-ticket items. This one doesn't.
New Custom Fuel Tank
215 gallons, fully fabricated. The #1 failure point at this age — already replaced. This alone is $15–20k on any comparable vessel.
Full Awlgrip Repaint
Professional application, not a DIY respray. Awlgrip is the industry standard for serious offshore vessels.
Complete Mechanical Review
Both CAT 3116s inspected. Electrical systems reviewed. Performed in-house at Velport's yard.
Fresh Antifouling
New bottom job. Ready to deploy immediately.
"Step aboard. It's ready."
Built for Baja.
Ready for the Tuna Banks.
2.5 hours south of San Diego by water.
Yellowfin. Bluefin. Dorado. Wahoo.
