Walking aft into the salon provides plenty of space to entertain and relax. Equipped with two swivel mariner Ultraleather chairs and a custom marine Flex-steel sofa covered in soft Ultraleather converts to full size sleeper for guests. The full size, complete L-shaped galley is just aft and has everything for a complete meal while at anchor or underway.

Walking down the companionway leads to the full size master stateroom and a full beam walk-around island queen berth rests a dual Sleep Number bed. The master head is probably one of the largest you will see on a boat this size and has a private entrance with walk-in shower.

Raising the hydraulic companionway steps leads through the first of four watertight doors and into the engine compartment. There is plenty of space to work on the single Cummins diesel and to starboard is the fuel polishing and generator. Leading through another watertight door takes you to the mechanical room, work shop and laundry. From there you have access to the drive-in tender bay and another watertight hatch leads you to the stern area above.

The drive-in tender bay is a work of art in itself for a vessel this size. Hydraulically operated from the transom, allows you to easily store the Zodiac 310 with 15 hp motor without needing a lift.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY is a head turner and is admired by the most meticulous marine engineers.

This vessel was designed and built by the shipyard’s President Paul Wetsig, a boat builder and maintainer. Equipped with the latest digital-stabilization and state-of-the-art systems, it would provide overall ease of maintenance, and maximum efficiency and comfort for extended self-contained cruising. A USCG/USN ice-rated Arctic Survey Boat (ASB) 39020 hull was chosen as the basis for this stout vessel. Overall construction is impeccable, meeting U.S. Navy Mil-Specs and exceeding ABYC standards. Built to ship-like standards with collision bulkhead, 4 watertight bulkheads/hatches and a drive-in tender wet bay accessed via a hydraulically activated transom hatch.

Designed with maintenance in mind, all systems are easily accessed and every single system on-board, regardless of size to include the engine, can be easily be removed without cutting a single hole. The interior trim is finished in the classic Nathanael Greene Herreshoff style of mahogany on white. All the trim work hand- matched from a single 65’ long plank of 150 year old, no longer available, old-growth mahogany. Each piece of mahogany receiving 8 coats of West Systems epoxy and 6 coats of West Systems 2-part UV stabilized polyurethane for maintenance free life-long durability. The cherry and holly sole warms the interior throughout.

The vessel launched December 1, 2011, partially completed, brought down the Atlantic from Wilmington NC to Fort Lauderdale. At Fort Lauderdale, Glastop Marine, famous for installation of Super yacht custom interior and furnishings, completed the interior. Since completion, the vessel has made additional voyages to the Keys and Bahamas. 

The superstructure was made with SAN closed cell foam cored fiberglass composite panels. The panels were foam core of thickness needed with two layers of 1808 on each side. Panels with potential exposure to water or UV used vinyl ester and interior panels used isophthalic polyester resin.
