The Kama II belongs to forum member Bigfluke. He has three other 25 Seafaris including one that was converted to a CC. He's the president of Navatek Ltd. in Honolulu. It's worth a visit to their web site for a look around. They're doing some cool stuff with lifting bodies and anti-slamming monohulls

The SAM 9 meter is an unmanned vessel they developed for Homeland Security and the hull is based off the 25 Seafari with the sponsons added.

Tim,
Thanks for posting the link. Very cool.

Dave
