CONSTRUCTION
Solid glass below the waterline, cored composite above and is integrally laminated in place box and crate system of bulkheads and stringers to carry the unique CAT loads.
The hull and deck are bolted and bonded with urethane at the gunwale and then hand-laminated to four of the seven athwart ship hull bulkheads.
Glacier Bay also laminates between the top of the tunnel and deck 65lbs in total.
While this is a slow and time-consuming way of doing things the results are a solid and tight boat!!
COMMENTS:
Amazing fit and finish
Amazing smooth and dry ride in sea conditions that would challenges boats twice its size.
The interior is cavernous with a queen size berth, head area, and loads of storage.
Interior includes two large port lights and a 15x18 opening hatch for light and ventilation (with top of the line gasketed aluminum and glass)
The helm seat is positioned so that you can stand at the helm or slide it forward and sit.
Under the helm is a nice storage compartment that doubles as an aft facing seat for your guests.
Seating for 6 includes an aft cooler seat for two more guests.
Access to the forward deck is easy with an 8 wide deck trail, and 27 tall SS bow rails.
All walking surfaces have a fish ready molded in non-skid.
The aft deck is huge with room to fish or pull out the deck chairs.
Its also crowned to speed up clean-up and includes two huge overboard scuppers.
For your rods, there are four deluxe chrome bronze Lee Rod holders and four(4) rod storage racks under the gunwale, combined with four racks in the cabin for a total storage of 12 rods.
The cockpit coamings are padded with closed cell foam (removable) bolsters installed at just the right height to allow a safe deck in heavy seas while not being so tall as to get in your way while fishing.
Flush-mounted on the aft deck are two over-sized insulated fish lockers (43Lx20Wx10D) with stainless steel gas-assisted hatch springs.
The insulated hatches are smartly guttered and gasketed all the way around to save your ice.
The aft cockpit combing on the port side has a well-designed bait prep station with storage for knives-pliers-lures.
Between the engine motor wells is an over-sized (24x36) aft casting platform/swim step for easy access to the water.
I began my career as a merchant mariner and wanted a boat that could take all kinds of sea conditions.
I also wanted a boat that was fast, reliable, and capable of keeping my family dry and safe.
I visited Glacier Bays manufacturing facility in Monroe, Washington to watch how they built this fantastic boat.
They graciously provided me with a comprehensive tour of their facility truly first class craftsmanship and attention to detail!
I am selling this boat because I live too far away from the Chesapeake Bay to give the boat the use that it deserves.
I also have two boys that are about to head-off to college.
For the past several years, I have used the boat only during annual treks back to Cape Cod to visit my family (a 1,250 mile round trip).
The remainder of the time the boat was stored on my property in Spotsylvania, Virginia.
You will need a full-size SUV/pickup to tow this monster.
I have been using a 1999 Lincoln Navigator w/heavy duty towing package) which has worked extremely well.
The Navigator (114,000 miles rebuilt transmission at 101,000 miles) is available for sale separately ($5,900 or Best Offer).
I need a smaller vehicle for my lengthy Washington Metropolitan Area commute.
The boat travels well and there is outstanding visibility aft on the highway (through the Cat Tunnel. A set of trailer load levelers are also included which steady the ride even further.
I plan to purchase another 2270 cat when I retire.
There is no other 22 boat like it!!
There are truly many good reasons why there are so few 2270s for sale.
Take advantage of a truly unique opportunity to purchase a high quality Cat with low hours at a fair price.
