This 1996 74' Awesome Series 736SL Power Catamaran is a liquidation item only. This is one of only seven custom power cats built in the awesome series by the Mathews Company. The design concept is to have a low profile, moderate speed long-range platform, built light and strong for oceanic voyaging. The layout provides 4 roomy staterooms with various berthing arrangements. There is the dingy garage, located below the foredecks amidships, with the hydraulic system to open the hatches. Hull, cabin, topsides, cabin soles, bulkheads and all other structural components are all constructed using high quality epoxies and closed cell PVC foam with high tech fabrics such as Kevlar unidirectional, carbon fiber, etc. The keel areas of both hulls are solid epoxy and Kevlar. The exterior is finished with Awlgrip 2000 polyurethane with Awlgrip epoxy preparatory coats. Awlgrip Non-skid on decks. Here is a true displacement yacht that has the ability to combine sustainable high speed with the long range that can comfortably cross oceans in excess of 20 knots. Her catamaran hull form is designed to slice through the water and consequently not create the same wave-making resistance as conventional vessels. The modern layout has been carefully designed to encompass the maximum use of available area to offer a luxury yacht that is unmatched for space. This vessel has just undergone a complete mechanical and cosmetic refit in 2008. Interior is all new, the exterior has been awl gripped, electronics have been updated, and machinery has been serviced and upgraded.
