Maritime Activity Reports, Inc.

July 27, 1999

William E. Munson delivered a Packman 23 and Packcat 24 to commercial fishing camps, to be used for support and non-commercial activities, including hauling fuel, people, ATVs and supplies to isolated regions. Wes Wiley, of Seven Mile Fishing, purchased his Packman 23 and Honda 130 hp four-stroke outboard, which also includes a console T-top with covered seating for four, removable canvas enclosure, 12V wiper and welded on pad-eyes for securing fish totes. Top speed of the vessel is 45 knots light and 30 knots with full cargo load. Virginia Abston's Packcat 24 is powered by twin Honda 90 hp four-stroke outboards providing a top speed of 50 knots. Additional outfitting includes an open backed cabin, 12V wipers, halogen flood lights, leaning post/seat and two folding passenger seats. The Packcat's revolutionary tunnel hull design traps air lifting the boat up and out of the water.
