According to the listing, this 96′ Hargrave’s “swept-back tear-drop windows, gleaming stainless steel, traditional teak decks and vibrant exterior cushions are just a few of the many features that make this boat so appealing.” More than 52 percent of Hargrave owners have gone on to build their next vessel with Hargrave, says Atlantic Yacht & Ship
Rho Boat is powered with twin 1,800 hp Caterpillar C-32 Acert diesels and has a reported top-end speed of 18 knots, but at 12 knots range is about 1,000 nautical miles.
