Arrangement Plan

Under construction at Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding is our third 70-footer for the Galveston-Texas City Pilots. This Texas Class boat will be powered by triple Volvo IPS drives. IPS powered boats working for Charleston, Tampa and Virginia pilots have demonstrated substantial improvement in fuel efficiency while offering excellent control alongside boarding operations.

Accommodations include seating for helmsman, navigator, and seven pilots. The foc'sle has a galley and dinette, head and enclosed cabin for two crew.
