Moose Boats Delivers M1-44 to U.S. Park Police
Moose Boats, an aluminum boat manufacturer, delivers a M1-44’ catamaran to the US Park Police in New York Harbor. The M1-44’ all aluminum catamaran is powered by twin 600hp Cummins diesel engines coupled to twin Hamilton 322 water-jets with Hamilton Blue Arrow Controls and includes a second full upper station.
The boat features an extra wide fully enclosed cabin complete with a mini-galley, large work station, dinette and three shock mitigating seats. The cuddy cabin offers a full size berth and head compartment. This vessel attains a top speed of 40 knots, cruises at approximately 30 knots and will be used for security patrol of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
