    Island Packet?
    That was a sailboat brand manufacture..
    My buddy was the dealer in Fort Lauderdale, great quality boats and voted one of the best US boat producers, The Cadillac of Boats.
    Then things changed and they are gone.
    I rented dock space to a few, a 34 and a 37, Crealock design if memory serves right.
    Didn’t know they made power boats, learn something new every day.

    Thar she blows…
    Nice boat, but twins.
    Trying to stay with a single, mostly for less maintenance than a twin, but also more room in the engine compartment and less complexity with fuel systems, charging systems, batteries, etc.
    I had twins before but outboards.
    Have operated twin inboard diesels and of course love the maneuverability and the redundancy of two separate power plants but prefer a big single if given the choice.

    That was the only example I could find.
    The smaller ones had single engine installs.
    I think they had bow thrusters also, to help the challenged operators.:rolleyes:

    Well, I do try to offer some humor in my post.
    I somehow always seem to end up picking on you. This just means I luv you brother, nothing ever meant mean.
    But, I do have to show you the Captain Ron attitude of landing on a dock. :D

    I really do believe your over delicate in your boat landings.
    You ever watched the speed docking competitions?



    Somewhere in between your and these dock landings may need to be considered.
