The
hull features a full keel to protect the running gear, enabling the owner
to safely cruise in rocky waters and shallow coves. The boat has over 8
full inches of walkway around the windshield for safe and easy access to
the forward deck.
A traditional design, the Avid 24, sports a high flared bow, large molded
spray rails and a graceful sheer line that sweeps down to a beautiful tumblehome
stern. Conventional inboard power is delivered by a 225 Volvo diesel, which
enables the skiff to cruise at 20-22 knots. Optional Volvo 260hp will cruise
the skiff at 22-24 knots. Fuel capacity is 128 gallons.
The cockpit of the AVID measures over 100 square feet and contains an
integrated stern bench seat. In addition to the 4 Lee rod holders in the
gunwales, the AVID 24 has under-gunwale rod racks capable of carrying up
to 8 spinning or fly rods up to 9 feet in length, with their tips fully
protected from careless feet.
The helm station contains full instrumentation, EDSON steering wheel,
Ritchie Compass, Blue Seas Switches and a Teleflex Electronic Single Lever
Control. In a nod to the traditional New England Bass boats of yesterday,
each AVID 24 comes with an optional teak stern tiller and rear mounted
Teleflex electronic single lever control for ease of trolling or leisurely
cruising. The practical yet functional forward cabin contains a portable
head (optional marine head), bench seats with storage lockers for tackle,
PFDs, jackets and gear, and serves as a place to get out of the weather
when necessary. |
