February launch of its first Tradition 54′, the lead vessel in a new series of production motor cruisers that combine the safety and strength of a traditional trawler with the comfort and style of a mega yacht, company President James announced today. Designed by Seaforth Marine Group, the three stateroom, single engine (320 hp John Deere) trawler with hydraulic come-home drive has a full displacement hull with a beamy aft end that helps diminish roll, improve stability and performance, and significantly reduces chine noise for a safer, quieter, more comfortable ride.
At the same time, Tradition buyers enjoy considerable latitude in customizing the interior of the vessel to meet their requirements for accommodation, woodworking, fabrics, and entertainment packages.”The Tradition series represents something new in passagemaking very seaworthy trawlers crossed with the comfort and style of a mega-yacht,” says James. “Safety is always our prime concern with comfort and efficiency always right behind.
Tradition series starting construction.” It was the seaworthiness and sturdiness of the Tradition construction that first attracted the interest of the owners of the first Tradition 54′, Duane and Walli Olive of Oak Harbor, Washington State. They had previously owned a 44′ coastal cruiser and were looking for a more spacious, liveaboard motor yacht for longer passagemaking.
