Mote Marine Laboratory was given a new boat by Wylie Nagler, who is the owner of Yellowfin. The specs on it are: Model: 39 Yellowfin Length: 39 8 Beam: 11 6 Power: 900 hp, triple 300hp Yamha This boat is special because it was specifically designed by Mote and Mr. Nagler for Mote. It is capable of a 600 mile range at 40mph, 1000 lb. crane for sampling equipment and weather buoy tending; flow thru pumps for continuous water sampling; and large doors/cutouts for ease of water access, which will allow the AUV/glider to be brought aboard with wings still attached. The new Yellowfin is also equipped with a full head, shower. It also has the latest in touch screen navonics and blue tooth, power inverter (110volt), 12 volt out lets, work stations and extra seating for crew/scientist. The new Yellowfin is also very economical! With a range of 600 miles at a 40mph cruise this vessel routinely carries out 200 mile survey cruises in a work day(burn rate is 1.1 miles per 1 gal of gas compared to the R/V Eugeine Clark at .5 miles per 1 gal at 14 mph). We at Mote are very thankful that Wylie Nagler, who also donated the first 36 Yellowfin in 2011, was able to donate this boat.
