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.
