The other two staterooms are located aft in each hull. The galley is starboard and features a sink and two burner stove with oven and microwave. A large refrigerator is located in the cabin adjacent to the dinette area. A chart room is located in the port hull with a head and shower located in the forward port hull. A custom sightseeing bench w/cushions provides luxuriant comfort on the forward deck. The diesel engine is in great condition. It starts easily and runs great. Unlike diesel engines on larger vessels, this one operates much more quietly and does not emit smoke or an unpleasant odor. 160 ADDITIONAL PHOTOS can be viewed in the "Gemini Technical" Photo Album at my Tennessee Boat Line web site. Will consider a TRADE for a smaller vessel capable of performing site-seeing cruises for 6 passengers. Desired trade is a vessel similar to a restored 26'x 8' Navy Whale Boat with no enclosed cabin, plenty of comfortable seating with canopy top, and diesel motor. ELECTRONICS & NAVIGATION: Nav 5A instrument cluster featuring wind speed and direction, depth, knots and log; standard VHF radio, new AM/FM CD stereo, digital television, CPT Autopilot. MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL: 22 HP Vetus M3.10 diesel engine with Sonic drive leg; new marine batteries; Sea dog circuit breaker panel; Siemens 46 watt solar panel and regulator; 2 battery chargers; new 500 watt power inverter; pressurized water system; point of use hot water heater; new large refrigerator/freezer; new electric head & holding tank; 2 burner propane stove with broiler and oven; stainless steel rail mount grill; new Mermaid HVAC heat pump; new 14' Azzurro premium inflatable dinghy. REASON FOR SELLING: We LOVE our Gemini Cat and will NOT sell or trade her unless it is for a reasonable price or trade that suits our needs. We are currently using the Gemini to provide 90-minute sightseeing cruises on the Tennessee River. The only reason we are willing to part with her is to obtain a different vessel with LESS cabin space. For our purpose, we have no need for the spacious accommodations inside our Gemini. The vessel we will acquire to replace her MUST be reliable, comfortable and have a unique look and history. OWNERSHIP: Built by Performance Cruising, Inc. in 1985, her Hull Number is 142. We think we are the 4th owner. The owner just before us (Nick) purchased her in Florida and kept her in an environmentally controlled shop for 2 years. During that time, he performed various upgrades and sailed her from time to time. One of the owners before Nick (a married couple) lived on the vessel in Florida for about 3 years. Sorting through some old paperwork, we found several customized "float plans" that included destinations like Key West, FL but we don't know if the vessel actually traveled there or not. SURVEY: We do not have a marine survey on the vessel, but we have regularly operated her for 2 years and can affirm that she is in excellent working condition. She has been faithfully performing delightful sightseeing cruises on the Tennessee River. The 22 HP Vetus M 3.10 diesel engine with Sonic drive leg was professionally installed in 1994. HULL MAINTENANCE: The hull (in great condition) was completely sanded and refinished with black Interlux anti fouling paint 2 years ago at the time we purchased her. TRAILER: A high quality custom built trailer is also for sale by the previous owner (Nick in Greenville, TN). It is the one pictured in the photos. He will sell it for $5,000. If you yourself are not interested in owning the trailer but you know someone in the hauling business, perhaps you could encourage him to purchase it and ask him to move the boat for free. 160 ADDITIONAL PHOTOS can be viewed in the "Gemini Technical" Photo Album at my Tennessee Boat Line web site.
