55' Mares Power Catamaran
Late in the afternoon on Saturday, May 7, a sleek-looking powered catamaran cruised into Bell Harbor Marina. Research suggests that it's a 55' powercat express designed in New Zealand and built by Mares Marine, Fort Lauderdale, FL. For more information on Mares, see http://www.marespowercats.com/about/history.html. The Mares 55' powercat has twin 600 hp Caterpillar diesels and cruises at a speed of 30 knots.
The cat crept out of Bell Harbor on Saturday morning.
