A NOTE ABOUT THE ENGINE ARRANGEMENT:
Kismet's diesel/gas outboard arrangement is unusual and deviates from the designer's original plan. For these reasons a potential buyer might be skeptical. The setup was endorsed by the original designer/builder and the installation of the diesel was done professionally. The advantages of the diesel are: 1) more power; 2) quieter long range motoring; 3) the possibility for hot water onboard 4) battery recharge. There may be fear that the boat will not drive straight without a symmetrical engine setup, but that is not the case. The boat steers straight with both engines running, even when they are not delivering equal thrust. The boat also steers straight when only one engine is running after some forward movement is achieved - at very slow speed the boat will pull to one side as the power is applied (unless power is applied slowly). Using the engines in a forward/reverse combination works exactly the same way as larger cats with two diesels - the boat can rotate within its own length, giving the sailor confidence around tight or oddly positioned fuel docks and pump out stations, or navigating large, busy marinas with intersecting fairways.

Forward is a large head area with a Lavac toilet, 20 gallon holding tank, vanity, sink and shower with pressurized water.
- The port hull has a good size single berth forward (44" wide x 6' 8" long). The aft space has a large dining table which drops down to convert to a double berth the same size as the master berth.
