We catch up with Aspen Power Catamarans owner Larry Graf at the Seattle Boat Show for a tour of their exciting 35' catamaran. What's unique about this catamaran is that it utilizes two different sized Mercury outboards for it's power. You'll have to see it for yourself! Larry's been building boats for decades in the Pacific Northwest and he's mastered the sponson design to work with the offset outboard sizes to achieve incredible fuel economy. In addition, Aspen Power Catamaran's have a thoughtfully designed interior to make any yachting adventure exceptionally comfortable.

    I love everything about this Aspen guy- right down to his Wrangler jeans. Great boat builder. I'm a fan!
  • @CAPTIVEPULSEMAKER

    I like the Aspen 35 a LOT! It would make a perfect Loop boat, with that super low air draft you wouldn't even need to fret about the western Erie Canal if you wanted to stay in the States. Seems to have plenty of storage for gear and provisions, and I suspect they could even put a third solar panel on the front portion of the hardtop. One of the very few dings is that it's a single wet head, and I don't really see any way to do anything about that in the amount of space available.

    What type of water heater? Propane or electric?
  • @MtnTuna
    where are the rod holders? where are the insulated fish boxes?
  • @wayneyd2
    That look like Portland boat show.

    THE man knows how to build a Cat Glacier Bay Inventor, but his boats got to be Very expensive not affordable to average people.

    I'm baffled. They made one side thinner to use a smaller engine? What happens if the larger sized engine goes out? Will the 115 power the lopsided boat at an adequate speed? If so, why not use 2 of them instead, and make both sides the same? You are just giving up volume to use a smaller motor, and now you have 2 parts lists, 2 maintenance procedures, and 2 design/engineering paths going forward. There is no free lunch. This is like taking 1/2 of the 35' and mating it to the 31' model and calling it a 33', and strutting around like you invented something.
