Overview
"Meanwhile"s condition is superb and she is well equipped. She has been kept in a covered slip for the past year and features, a pampered, low hour, Volvo diesel, 1500 watt inverter, 16,000 BTU's of A/C, new electronics package, custom trim tabs, spotless interior, bilge and engine room, etc., she is cruise ready and turn key. "Meanwhile"s original owner was an engineer who had the vessel built, monitored the build and made numerous sensible upgrades to her. This boat is featured in the September 2005 MOTORBOATING article "Bahama Bound"!
With her single diesel and large bow thruster, she is easy to maneuver and stingy of fuel. At 7 knots she consumes about 1.5 GPH and at 14 knots about 6 GPH.
The unique "keelform" hull will sip fuel and cruise comfortably at a 7 knot displacement speed or reach speeds of 16 knots plus at wide open throttle. Not only does the substantial keel provide full protection for the four bladed prop, it gives the boat the feel of running on rails at all speeds.
Docking is a breeze with the large rudder and bow thruster- no more panic leaps to the dock!
The Camanos are known for very high quality glass work,(Solid hand laid glass below the waterline and cored with Corecell above the waterline), electro polished stainless steel fittings and no exterior brightwork. The interior joinery is expertly crafted and finished to yacht standards.
"Meanwhile" is truly one of the best designed and best built pocket cruisers you will find. So if you are looking for a well equipped, clean boat, turn key and ready to cruise, this one's for you. She is kept with an "open check book policy" Owners are moving out of boating.

Factory Description
Comfort underway is derived by many factors, one of which is hull shape. The KEELFORM® hull does not “roll” like a full displacement hull form and does not “pound” like a planing hull form. The Camano KEELFORM® is unique. Forward, her stem is deep, as it would be in a displacement hull. Aft, the bottom flattens out into hard chines, just like a planing boat, but has a huge keel and barn-door style rudder that would never be found on a planing yacht. The keel, which provides about 28 percent of the hull’s displacement, is one of the elements of design that makes the Camano an adept performer at any speed.
The 200 hp Volvo® turbo-charged engine is placed deep in the engine compartment, along with the fluid storage. This places the center of gravity lower than in most boats, thus allowing a steady and level ride. Comfort is also derived from the low noise level, when underway, because of a combination of a quiet diesel and a well-insulated engine room.
