The 60' x 24' x 8' hull, with 52-9" draft, is constructed of 1/2" plate throughout. Deck and bulkheads are 3/8”. Transverse framing is 5”x 3” x 3/8” on 24” centers. The inside motor mounts are continued fore and aft as solid sheets to divide the hull into three collision compartments, three fuel tanks (9,500 gallons), engine room, three water tanks, and six stern compartments. All void tanks have high level alarms with bilge piping. A 110-gallon lube oil tank and a 110 - gallon transmission oil tank are built into the hull.

Two 40-kw John Deere MDDCA light plants furnish auxiliary electric power. Skipper follow-up lever controls with backup separately activate four flanking and two main rudders. The two hydraulic pumps are driven by electric motors. Standard equipment includes navigation lights, one incandescent and one Xenon searchlight, 40 ton Wintech electric winches, Schuyler rubber towknees, perimeter fenders, shore power plug-in, and Fernstrum zero knot coolers.
