This 55′ Catamaran Cruiser (The IKE) has an overall breadth of 20 feet, with a draft of 2 feet 10 inches. With a 45,000-pound displacement, three decks, and two turbo-charged Yanmar (465 hp.) diesel engines, this multi-hull cat utilizes a revolutionary design which takes the best features of symmetrical and asymmetrical hulls.

The owner chose the Teknicraft Catamaran design, built by All American Marine, due to its smooth ride and fuel efficiency. “A mono-hull tends to pound in a head sea,” Peery (the owner) explained. “I chose this Cat because it drives with less power and a smaller engine. It goes 29 knots at full power; 26 at 85 percent power. A 55-foot boat at less than 1000 horsepower is amazing!”
