The Boater’s Notes
The design of the Delta Express 38 is extremely suitable to ferry up to 22 pax at commercial speeds of 25 Knots using about 80 L of fuel per hour. Her hull design is suitable to run in open coastal waters and her ride is very comfortable and safe due to the high sides and deep seating. Primarily used as a demo boat, the Delta Express 38 has been used by various party organisers as a safe people carrier. Light use only with total hours 360 per November 2022. Prior to delivery the ferry will be newly antifouled and any cosmetic damage will be rectified. The engines will be serviced by Suzuki and given a clean bill of health.
