Camano 31 Trawler Gnome

TAMD-41 six-cylinder turbo-diesel - quiet running and reliable power. Only 920 (approximately) hours on the engine.

A defined "cruising speed" as stated above is a bit of a misnomer. Thanks to the unique hull design and powerful propulsion the boat cruises very well at any speed up to its max speed. Unlike conventional semi-displacement hulls or planing hulls there is no awkward speed to avoid. So pick your favorite speed and set your throttle!

Floscan installed for accurate measurement of fuel consumption rate.

Keypower 5-hp bow thruster.

Xantrex Freedom Marine 20 inverter (2000w) / charger (100 amps) with remote monitor in cabin.

House bank consists of four deep-cycle batteries (new in 2012). Separate start battery (new 2012). Engine has dual alternators for separate charging of start battery and house bank.

The hull design of the Camano 31 is unique and well-regarded for its stability, seaworthiness, and efficiency. The deep, hollow v-shaped keel provides about 25% of the hull's displacement, and above displacement speeds helps lift the stern so that water runs cleanly off the transom, thus maintaining a more linear speed-fuel relationship up to 17 knots. An additional benefit of the Keelform hull is that the engine is mounted in the keel, lowering the center of gravity. The boat heels very little even in tight turns. The owners speak of its stable performance in difficult sea conditions and its fuel efficiency, especially at speeds from 10 - 14 knots that are difficult for planing or displacement hulls of this size.

Pronounced bow flair keeps the spray down and makes for a dryer boat.

Prop and rudder are protected by a skeg.

The exceptionally large window area is subdivided into enough segments that structural rigidity is maintained.

Solid, hand-laid fiberglass below the waterline, with foam coring above the waterline. The windlass and deck fixtures are backed with metal backing plates.

Extensive sound-deadening insulation is used in the cabin floor, making the boat unusually quiet in operation.

This "Gnome" model was custom-ordered and built without the flybridge commonly installed on Camanos to create a very capable fishing machine. The topside area provides incredible storage for crab pots and other gear, and the low profile reduces clearance and windage. If a buyer prefers a full flybridge or simply a flybridge cowling one can be installed.
