Today, you can count the number of boatbuilders who are producing custom sport-fishers in the 38-to-50-foot range on one hand, and even fewer are building cold-molded wood boats that are truly custom in every sense of the word. Fortunately, Maverick Yachts Costa Rica is carrying on that time-honored tradition of craftsmanship in Herradura, Costa Rica, not much more than a stone’s throw from the entrance to that well-known sport-fishing destination that is Los Sueños Resort and Marina.

I’m fortunate to have spent ­hundreds of hours in the ­cockpit of a 43-foot Maverick, fishing the boat in all kinds of weather from Guatemala to Panama. Contrary to popular belief, it does get rough from time to time in Central America, and the 43s are capable of fishing their way through nearly anything short of a typhoon. These are incredibly tough boats, thanks in part to that time-tested cold-molded hull construction. In fact, the builder’s original vessel, Spanish Fly, has more than 50,000 hours of hard fishing under her belt, yet she looks and rides just as good as she did when she first hit the water 20 years ago.

Construction and Design

With more boats ­venturing to the distant seamounts 100 miles or more offshore, the need for a slightly larger ­vessel soon became apparent. Maverick Yachts Costa Rica turned to well-known naval ­architect Erwin Gerards, who went to work with a blank sheet to design the latest in the Maverick fleet: a 45-foot custom beauty. “The 43 is still a great ­fishing platform, but it was just a bit too small to house a gyro, sonar, plenty of fuel, and comfortable space for ­overnight seamount fishing,” he says. “The 50-footer is ideal for this but is better-suited for larger groups. After looking at the available engine options, fuel ­capacity and accommodations, we agreed to design a 45 with a 15-foot-2-inch beam, which is approximately 16 inches wider than the 43’s.”

“Another requirement was to be able to use the new MAN I6 850 hp engines or the Cummins QSM11 715 hp engines,” Gerards says. “The challenge with this size boat is to be able to have a nice low profile without using engine boxes or propeller pockets. This creates more options for salon layouts and ­mezzanine design, with either an offset salon entry door or a centerline door. I was able to achieve this with Maverick’s S-shaped sheer break, which allows the salon deck and house to be up a little higher without compromising the sleek, traditional look that Maverick is known for. The 12.5-degree transom deadrise and slight convex bottom shape provide an efficient running platform, with a very clean wake at trolling speeds.”

Cockpit and Interior

Stepping aboard Hull No. 1 of the 45-footers in Los Sueños—the recently splashed Tropic Fly —I immediately felt right at home in the spacious cockpit, complete with teak deck and covering boards, which also conceal tuna tubes on each side for easy access. There’s a freshwater spigot for refilling water bottles during the day, while the split mezzanine design also has cockpit air conditioning to tame those sweltering flat-calm days in the Pacific. The standard configuration has drink boxes under the mezzanine steps with an in-deck fish box on the port side, which is fed directly by a dump from the ice maker. An identical box to starboard serves as a spacious livewell. The oversize scuppers ensure that any water that does come in is quickly drained from the deck.

Moving to the salon, the first thing you notice about Tropic Fly is the incredibly light and bright interior. While most salons feel more like a dark-­paneled English library, this owner wanted a more ­modern look, and it’s impressive. The genuine teak flooring continues forward throughout the vessel; the galley counters are synthetic marble, which looks great and is also very durable, an important consideration because this is also a charter vessel that will fish upwards of 200 or more days each season.

There’s a ­seating area to port and a dinette to ­starboard, both with teak tables. In the galley, ­everything is clean and functional, with undercounter refrigeration, a sink to starboard and a convection microwave in the forward bulkhead. Because the crew uses portable electric ­skillets for preparing hot meals, the counters remain uncluttered by a ­dedicated stovetop, a nice touch that also speaks to the boat’s ­easy-to-clean-and-maintain mantra.

Forward is a large V-berth with an additional bunk, plus a tackle-storage center and full head with shower. Just aft is another bunk room and a second head, a great layout for sleeping arrangements while also offering privacy for the owners during their overnighters offshore.

Engine Room and Helm

The boat’s engine-room access is via a centerline hatch in the salon. Stepping down into the space, it’s clear that there was indeed room for plenty of additional equipment that simply would not have fit in the 43, including a Seakeeper 6, sonar tube, watermaker, ice maker, Reverso oil-change system, Spot Zero water filtration and more. Taking center stage are the Cummins QSM11 715 hp engines, with excellent access to all maintenance points. And, in another nod to the boat’s theme of simplicity and ease of maintenance, the deck and aft bulkheads are designed to be quickly and easily removed for major maintenance or ­equipment overhauls.

Tropic Fly ’s Capt. Gabriel Ortega invited me to the bridge, where he walked me through the boat’s electronics package of three Garmin multifunction displays, Garmin 25 kW radar and Icom VHF radios with AIS ­integration, a Simrad sonar, and controls for the Seakeeper and NiteTrak ­low-light ­night-vision system, handy for those all-night chugs out to the seamounts. There’s plenty of bench-style seating along each side and also forward of the helm, with ample storage throughout.

I settled into the Release Marine Carolina Series helm chair as Ortega ran us offshore from Los Sueños, putting the 45 through her paces. At his preferred trolling speed of 7.2 knots, Tropic Fly produced a very clean wake with hardly any turbulence, as expected.

Bumping up the ­throttles to 10 knots, we burned 6.5 ­gallons an hour per side at 1,180 rpm. At 2,120 rpm, Tropic Fly loped along at 25 knots, burning 25 gallons an hour per side; she topped out at 32 knots and 2,500 rpm, in a loaded-for-­fishing condition. She’ll also do ­better than 7 knots in reverse while spinning on a dime, more than a match for nearly any light-tackle blue marlin.

As with all Maverick Yachts Costa Rica vessels, the 45 can be built in Costa Rica and shipped anywhere in the world as a completely turnkey fishing boat, or they will build the hull and then ship it to your destination of choice to be completed.

Now part of the busy Fly Boats charter fleet working out of Los Sueños Resort and Marina, Tropic Fly is a heck of a ride—one that is well worth the price of admission.

Description

MAVERICK captures the essence of an expedition yacht, a rough and rugged vessel capable of traveling to out of the way destinations yet this "rugged vessel" belies MAVERICK'S extraordinarily graceful exterior lines and interior features which make her a luxury yacht rivaling any cruising the world. With suburb fit and finish, custom stainless steel hardware, marble inlays, exquisite granite, lighting and entertainment systems, she offers luxury creature comforts for hardy seafarers. Originally built as ALEXA to a very thorough Vripak specification, she was designed by Vripak Yachting international and construction was performed by Kuipers shipyard in Woudesend, The Netherlands. The design was carefully analyzed and was an enlarged version of previously built Vripak/ Kuiper's expedition yachts. The yacht is a twin screw, round bilge, displacement hull, with flared bow, transom stern, and three decks.

Located on the first level she has three staterooms that sleep six and two crew cabins along with the engine room, all separated by watertight bulkheads. The second level is the pilot house, galley, a large main salon with separate dining area, and a sheltered aft deck with a dining table and settee. The third level is the expansive flybridge and boat deck.

The hull construction is of welded steel and the super structure is welded aluminum. The hull and superstructure are joined with a bimetallic strip according to DNV standards. There are 5 watertight bulkheads. The design requirement was for intensive cruising capability and long ocean passages with emphasis on simplicity of maintenance and reliable systems. MAVERICK has performed well and met all the requirements during thousands of miles of ocean cruising.

The current owner, an accomplished mariner, has cruised over 5000 hours / 48,000 nautical miles aboard Maverick. Other than cruising in New Zealand, all voyages were Ocean voyages from 1200 to 2800 nautical miles. Frequently encountering seas in the 12'-15' range and once in excess of 25' feet with winds of 100 knots, but the autopilot, oversized rudders, and hydraulic steering system kept the boat on course. Through these 45,000 nautical miles of cruising at 1340 RPM / 9.6 knots average speed, the fuel consumption has averaged 58 liters per hour (15.3 gallons per hour) for an average consumption of 1.6 gallons/ nautical mile, with the small generator running. The range at 9.6 knots is approximately 6,000 nautical miles with ample reserve as she carries 11,471 gallons of fuel for long range travel with her full displacement hull. The shrouded propellors also offer protection from floating debris and increases efficiency.

Engine and Mechanical Equipment:

Main Engines: The vessel is powered by a pair of Caterpillar 3196 fresh water cooled marine diesels rated at 380 HP@ 1800 RPM. The reversing gears are Twin Disc with a ratio of 3.43:1.Major Overhaul of engines was done at approximately 10,000 hours. Engine Hours - 950. New cylinder heads, valves, pistons, liners and oil pumps were installed to prepare the vessel for future long range trips.

The engines are fresh water cooled through raw water-cooled heat exchangers located at the front of each engine and have gear driven raw water rubber impeller pumps for cooling. The transmission and inner coolers are raw water cooled with engine oil fresh water-cooled, as is the turbo charger. The raw water feeds are from the port a starboard sea chest with a crossover pipe and valve all made of C-PVC.

Both main engine exhaust consists of insulated steel exhaust risers with flanged stainless steel bellow flex sections that are hung from the overhead steel frame and is isolated through rubber mounts. The exhaust system continues on the outboard sides to water injection stainless steel exhaust water feed ring and a low speed shower feed downstream from the spray ring. The exhaust system passes through fiberglass mufflers located behind the engine room paneling that then discharges on the stern outboard quarter on their respective sides. The transition hoses from the stainless steel pipe to the fiberglass muffler are connected with blue silicone exhaust hose ad T-bolt clamps.

Both main engines and reverse gears are bolted to a steel skid plate that is isolation mounted on top of the engine beds. The reversing gears and main shafts are isolated through an Armatek flexible coupling and thrust bearing with a dripless shaft seal that is cooled by a raw water takeoff fed from each engine. Each transmission has a Creusen Roermond electric gearbox trialing pump, for single engine operation.

Hydraulic PTO pumps are driven off the front of each main engine and are Cramm/Parker that feeds the central hydraulic system.

The engine controls are electronic ZF Mathers MS565-13050 with stations located at the aft deck; port and starboard wing stations; fly bridges; wheelhouse.

There is also an emergency throttle electronic control located at the rear of each engine. Each main engine has its own 24 volt start battery bank consisting of two 8D gel cell batteries in series to produce 24 volts and is fed by an isolation switch to the starters. These batteries are charged by belt driven 24-volt alternators and by an amp charger.

Each main engine shares a dual Racor 1000 MA fuel/water separator filter with vacuum gauges and water sensitive alarm with the respective generator and has associated valving to select either one or both of the filters.

Each main engine has a local gauge panel with: Digital tachometer; Analog oil and fuel pressure gauge; Emergency stops, Analog crank pressure gauge.

There are Caterpillar premium electronic displays on the panels in the wheelhouse and fly bridge and on the DMP ship’s monitor panel.

Engine Room Ventilation: Located in the overhead of the port side engine room is a 25’ x 24” main air intake plenum with an 18” axial variable speed fan. The controls are by Heinman & Hopman and are located just outboard of the port generator. The system can work on either auto or manual and derives its information from both a temperature probe and pressure sensor located in the engine room. On the opposite side of the engine room is a small 8” x 8” passive exhaust plenum the port and starboard louvers are located on the aft boat deck. The intake louver measures 20” x 24” and the exhaust louver measures 12”x 12””. Both plenums are fit with manually controlled fire dampers and demisters. In addition to the above-mentioned ventilation, there are two engine room cooler fans manufactured by Heinman & Hopman. The engine room cooling fans are 16” variable speed fan. The system uses a seawater heat exchanger process that supplies cool air to the port and starboard engine room via these two variable speed fans. They are controlled by Heinman & Hopman variable speed control unit.

Generators: The vessel has a pair of Northern Lights generators. The port side generator is rated at 45 Kw, 56.3 KVA, 230/400 volts, three phase, 50 Hz, 1500 RPM at 81 amps per leg. This generator consists of a Marathon electronically regulated electrical end that is driven by a John Deere 4-cylinder turbo charged, fresh water-cooled marine diesel. The starboard generator is rated at 25 kW, 31.3 KVA, 230/400 volts, three phase, 1500 RPM at 45 amps per leg. The engine is 4-cylinder Toyota engine that is driving a Japanese made electrical end.

• Port Side – 45KW Northernlights via John Deere drive 700 hrs
• Starboard - 25KW Northernlights via Toyota Diesel 200 hrs

Both engines are freshwater cooled through raw water-cooled heat exchangers with gear driven raw water pumps that are fed from the common sea chest. The exhaust systems are raw water cooled from the exhaust mixer elbows that dump into fiberglass aqua lift mufflers located outboard of the generator sets. The exhaust then passes through gas/water separators located outboard behind paneling whereas the exhaust gas is discharged above waterline and the water discharged below. Each generator set is mounted on isolated mounts on a welded steel frame with oil pan beneath the engines. Both generator sets are located in Northern Lights insulated hard sound enclosures with removable access panels for inspection and service. Each generator has its own 24 volt start battery bank consisting of two 4K gel cell batteries located aft, starboard of the engine room that pass through the battery switch panel, which allows for paralleling between the two battery banks. These batteries are charged by the generator belt driven 24-volt alternator off the front of the engines and by a Mastervolt 24V/25 amp charger that is shared between the main engine start batteries through a battery splitter.

Each generator shares their respective main engine dual Racor 1000 MA fuel/water filter separator with metal bowls and has vacuum gauges and water sensor alarms. These filters are located inboard of the main engines and have selector valves between each filter and valves to the main engine and generator on their respective sides. The output of the generator sets is fed to Merlin Gerin thermo-magnetic molded case breakers located on the main electrical panel. Each generator has a Northern Lights series 3 stop/start and gauge panel with: Analog oil pressure and temperature gauges; manual preheat stop/start controls; service meter. Each generator can be monitored on the DMP ships monitoring system for engine performance and electrical output. The ship’s loads operate on either 230-volt for lighter loads or 400 volts, three phase for heavier loads. The main panel is set up as a single buss bar system whereby only a single power source can supply the vessel. The ship’s load will automatically be switched to the active generator after a short delay on start up of the generator. The generators take preference over shore power source if a generator is activated. This automatic load switching can be bypassed with manual switches located on the main electrical panel. The 25kW unit is considered as the night generator to operate during light load periods. The port generator (45kw has 14,000 hours) and the starboard generator (25kw has 20,000 hours) Both generators operate at 1500 RPM which extends their life.

Oil Water Separator: The vessel if fit with an oily water separator located centerline on the forward engine room bulkhead. The unit is a Bilge Boy. The unit takes suction from a dedicated suction line from the engine room centerline bilge. It is isolated on rubber mounts and mounted inside a stainless steel drip tray.

Electrical System

AC power: The vessel’s primary AC electrical loads operate on 230 volts, single phase or 400 volts, three phase, 50 Hz wye configuration that can only be supplied from one of the three power sources (i.e. shore power, 25 kW and 45 kW ship’s generators). The shore power system has two inlets, one located on the aft transom and other in the starboard bow seating area. Both shore power cords are 6/4, 100’ cables that are on Glendinning shore power reels with aft unit in the lazarette and the bow in the crew bilge area. The shore power cables are automatically coiled in stainless steel bins. These shore power cords then feed 100 amp, three pole Merlin Gerin breakers adjacent to the bins that then feed the Atlas Smart Box that allows for a combination with single or three phase feeds to be combined. This smart box then feeds the Atlas frequency converter. The drawings indicate a galvanic isolator is installed in the shore ground system.

Atlas Frequency Converter: - Input: 190-250 V and 340-520 VAC, 3 or 1 phase, 40-70 Hz - Output: 400-230 V,51 amp,3 phase, 50 Hz The Atlas Smart Box is frequency converter is located in the lazarette. The output of the frequency converter feeds the main panel through a 63-amp breaker. The main electrical switchboard is located in the engine room on the aft port bulkhead. The panel is a custom built semi-automatic switchboard with a single buss bar system whereby the ship’s load will automatically be transferred to the available power source with generator power having preference over the shore power source. Each power source is monitored on this main panel with analog meters and monitors: Voltage between phases and neutral; Frequency load current.

The ship’s loads are protected through thermo-magnetic Multi 9 Merlin Gerin breakers located on the main engine room on the main electrical panel and the single sub panel located forward of the master stateroom. The main panel was built by Kuipers and a full set of electrical schematics is available. Secondary sources of AC power are supplied from 3 Mastervolt MASS 24 volt/2500 watt inverters rated at 2500 watts located above the starboard battery banks. Two of the inverters are coupled together as master and slave to supply critical loads that demand constant power source. The third inverter of the same size, make and location supplies critical power to critical electronic equipment such as the DMP monitor. These inverters are normally online, but have bypass switches in the event of failure to switch to load to the normal AC power source.

DC power: The vessel’s primary house electrical DC systems operate on 24 volts that is supplied from 12 2-volt Traction Sonnenshchein 1,000 A/H, dry fit, gel cell batteries that are located in the lazarette and are mounted in stainless steel 2” lip trays with stainless steel retaining bins. The output of this battery bank feeds an output fuse located in the starboard trays with stainless steel retaining bins. The output of this battery bank feeds an output fuse located in the starboard corner and an isolation switch located in the DC panel. These batteries can also be paralleled to the main engines for starting through a switch located in the battery switch panel. The output of these batteries are divided into two sections labeled as “switched” and “not switched”. It is believed the concept is to reduce the DC load of non-critical loads when the vessel is running on DC power with a single switch located on the main battery switch panel. The DC power supply to the main panel and sun panels is protected with knife fuses located in the main electrical panel. The lighting throughout the vessel is primary DC with some AC lighting, mostly indirect. Each main engine has their own start battery bank consisting of two 8D gel cell batteries located in the engine room on the starboard aft bulkhead. These batteries feed the main engine starters through battery switch in the main battery switch panel and can be paralleled to each other or to the house battery bank. These batteries are charged by the generator batteries. The over current protection devices on the main sub panel are thermo-magnetic, single pole, Multi 9 Merlin Gerin breakers. The DC system is negative ground to hull.

Power Consumption at Anchor and Cruising: According to Northern Lights the generator manufacturer, the “sweet spot” for generator load is 60-80% . Loading the generator outside this range can waste fuel and increase wear on the diesel engine so power management is critical for long generator life , whether Maverick is on a day trip or an Ocean voyage. Most of the internal lighting on Maverick has been changed to to LED. More than 30 lights were changed in the master stateroom alone. This significantly reduced the electrical load on the generators and the house batteries. When Maverick is cruising around New Zealand A/C is rarely used and opening portlights and the make up air system provides a comfortable environment inside Maverick. Most cruising has been done using the 25k generator using sensible power management, such as not using two washers and driers when cooking dinner. Maverick has bildge keels so when the seas are calm you don’t need to activate the stabilizers, reducing power consumption. Most electronics are kept running whenever the owner is aboard as the electrical load is minimal. When at anchor or cruising the invertor system can power Maverick overnight with no generators running. The batteries can be charged the next day with main engine alternators or either generator. Over 10 years operating Maverick the 45k generator has been used mostly when there were many people living aboard ( cruising Fiji, Venatu, Australia in summer weather) with all the A/C working , cooking, doing laundry, and running the hydraulic systems. Both generators can be run together with a high electrical load, when needed. Maverick’s generators produce 50 hertz power and always run at 1500 RPM regardless of load. This means the diesel engine life is extended about 20% compared to an 1800 RPM 60 Hertz generator.

Stabilizer and Hydraulic System

Stabilizer and Hydraulic System: “MAVERICK” is outfitted with a Cramm central hydraulic system for the crane, capstans, and anchor windlasses. The main controls and 53-gallon reservoir are located in the engine room outboard on the port side. The stabilizer system is Naiad Koopnautic model MK302 with pilot house and flybridge controls.

Air conditioning: Marine Air model SCW144(029)RRCW

The vessel’s air conditioning system is a chilled water by Marine Air systems of Pompano Beach, FL. Rated at 144,000 BTU’s or 12 tons of cooling capacity with reverse cycle heat rated at 158,400 BTU’s. The three Copland scroll compressor units are racked together and located in the engine room on the starboard forward side. Each compressor is rated at 48,000 BTU’s or 4 tons of cooling capacity. The Marine Air control box is located on the forward engine room bulkhead and has digital displays with touch pads to the control system. A glycol heat exchanger loop cools the A/C compressors which means they never encounter salt water.

The circulating water in the system can be heated by four additional immersion heaters located under the passarelle power pack in the engine room with a master rotary switch and four individual rotary switches for each heater element. This system can be controlled through DMP control panel whereby the water is diverted through to the immersion heaters through an electronically operated three-way valve.

The chilled water is circulated throughout the vessel via a Rotor 230 volt, .075 kW, 50 Hz, single phase circulating pump located aft of the compressor unit. The cooling water is provided to the system by a closed fresh water plate heat exchanger located forward of the port main engine. This heat exchanger is cooled by a Rotor 230 volt, .75 kW, 50Hz pump located directly beneath and draws water from the portside sea chest. This cooling system also provides seawater temperature air to two engine room recirculation fans located port and starboard. The closed fresh water cooling water is circulated by a Rotor 230 volt, .75 kW, 50 Hz pump located adjacent to the raw water cooling pump.

The fan coils throughout the vessel are by Marine Air with individual screens located at each fan coil unit. The units are fitted with three way valve thereby bypassing the water system to the fan coil unit once the desired temperature has been reached. The fan coil control temperature and fan speed are by Heinman & Hopman and are digital controls with each having frequency drive to control fan speed.

The vessel also has two Heinman and Hopman make up air units type SA, with one unit located in the crew bow compartment to service the forward section of the vessel and the other unit located in the midsection coffer dam to service the aft section of the vessel. These units draw outside air that is then chilled and ducted to various parts of the vessel to make up for lost air from ventilation fans, ECT. And create a slight positive pressure within the vessel in the air conditioning.

Watermaker: The vessel has one Matrix with low-pressure pump, sand media filter, and high-pressure pump set. There is an Atlantic ultraviolet sterilizer light. All of the water maker equipment is located in the starboard aft engine room and is supplied seawater by its own dedicated through-hull. The low-pressure pump supplies 50-Psi to the sand media filter. There is a 30-micron filter, and a charcoal filter. The system is fit with automatic back flush. A second water maker was recently added Sea Recovery 33 gallons/hr.

• Sea Recovery Aqua Whisper 120LPH 1308hrs
• Sea Recovery Aqua Whisper 250LPH 35hrs

Note: new controller replace which included hr meter

Potable water system: The potable water system consists of 3 separate zones. The pumps are located in the cofferdam between frames 32 and 34. They are mounted outboard on the starboard side. There are two Sihi pumps. One is 230/240 volt and one is 24 volt. The pumps take suction directly from the water tanks just aft of frame 32.

Steering system: Hydraulic power for the steering system is supplied by the Cramm central hydraulic system. The steering power is supplied by the primary pumps on the front of each main engine and is redundant with a secondary AC electric motor mounted directly to the hydraulic reservoir. Located in the steering area in the aft lazarette are two 16” x 1 ¼” steering cylinder rams. The cylinder ends are fix mounted towards centerline and are yolk mounted to the port rudderpost. They work in a push/pull arrangement. The port and starboard tillers are connected with a 3” adjustable tie bar. The rudderposts and bearings are well

Cruising Example

June 30, 2018: MAVERICK completed a 1451 nautical mile trip from Auckland, NZ to Vanuatu. Cruising thru 30 knot winds, MAVERICK's fuel consumption was an amazing 1.59 gallons per nautical mile at an average speed of 9.6 knots. MAVERICK is a custom designed and built steel hulled, aluminum superstructure, all electric welded motor yacht, designed by Vripak Yachting International and built by the Kuipers Shipyard of Holland, in 2002. Her keel was laid in 2002, however. Her delivery date was 2003. She is an offshore expedition type motor yacht with a raked bow, transom stern, raised foredeck, raised wheelhouse, and is twin diesel engine powered. She has crossed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is ready for more. Current owner has crossed the Pacific from San Diego to New Zealand via Marianas Islands (2800 nautical miles non stop) and Fiji. He has also cruised to Australia and Venatu a few times. She is a proven passage maker who can be operated by a small crew because of the extensive back up systems.

Maverick is offered for sale only to purchase a larger expedition vessel. She is in excellent condition with a recent complete paint job with slight color change on the hull (stars and stripes blue). Most cruising is at 9.6 knots burning 58 liters (15.3 gallons) per hour. This is incredibly efficient (1.5 gallons per nautical mile).

Maverick has received continual maintenance attention by an owner (owned since April 2010) who operates aircraft and is very familiar with good maintenance schedules. Oil samples have frequently been taken on the engines and the generators. Other than oil changes, sensor replacement, injector replacement, zinc replacement, and heat exchanger replacement very little work has been necessary over 45,000 nautical cruising miles on the engines and generators. Major Overhaul of both main engines completed in June/July 2019 as a preventative maintenance measure; counter at approximately 9800hrs, with now having approximately 500hrs on new counters which were installed at the same time as the overhaul. New cylinder heads, valves, pistons, liners and oil pumps were installed to prepare the vessel for future long range trips. Shafts pulled and bearings checked in April 2019. Plumbing and wiring in excellent condition.

17 HPX-S Build & Price

An unequaled combination of draft, running performance and stealth..

The revolutionary skiff that has cracked the code of sacrificing running comfort, range and poling performance for the sake of getting super shallow. The 17 HPX-S’s one of a kind hull combines the knowledge of the most experienced skiff designing team in the business, the latest in CAD designed naval architecture, and advanced aeronautic technologies. The result is a skiff that floats in less than 6″ inches of water, drives like a sports car while keeping its occupants exceptionally dry and comfortable, and poles with precision and complete stealth. Sounds too good to be true? It was until now.

Get the skinny from those who know…

“Over the past several years, I’ve been running a HPX and whether it’s a 17 or 18, I’m still amazed at what these boats can do. To be able to go super shallow and be as quiet in technical poling situations, handle the requirements of deep water tarpon fishing with a fly and then still run home with speed comfortably and dry in a stiff afternoon sea breeze is remarkable. There are no other boats out there that offer this complete performance like a Maverick.” Capt. Rick Murphy, Homestead FL  (Master angler, guide and tarpon guru)

“I’ve been poling skiffs for 25 years, and have been guiding full-time for over 15.  During that time, I have had the chance to be on the platform of just about every skiff on the market.  I can easily say that the HPX line of skiffs from Maverick outperforms them all.  I have had the pleasure of owning several HPX models, and choosing my favorite would be like choosing a favorite child.  They are all ultra-lightweight and definitely the easiest skiffs I’ve ever push-poled across a flat.  HPX skiffs are designed by anglers, for anglers, which can be easily seen throughout the design of the skiff.  It’s no easy task to build a boat that has a shallow draft, fast speed, runs easily through a chop, and slips silently through the water when poling, yet the team at Maverick has done it.  Every skiff comes with the highest-quality fit and finish, and the driest storage hatches I’ve ever seen.  The icing on the cake is that you can customize the skiff to your exact specifications, from custom colors to metalwork and more.  These boats are perfect for the hardcore light-tackle and fly angler, but I also have novice anglers who comment regularly about how comfortable and easy they are to fish out of.  Maverick’s slogan is ‘Fish the Legend.’  Fish on an HPX and you’ll quickly see why.” Capt. Tommy Derringer, St. Augustine, FL 

“The HPX-S is the most versatile skiff I’ve ever fished in 26 years of guiding. It has more attention to detail, is the driest skiff I’ve ever been in, and has the driest hatches I’ve ever seen. The boat is so light and spins so easily that it gives you shots you wouldn’t get in other skiffs. I’ve caught more tarpon this year because of this boat. It’s an awesome skiff.” Capt. Rob Fordyce, Homestead, FL  (The VooDoo (Tarpon) Daddy)

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
