“Koh Chang Explorer” Gulfcraft Walkaround 31

“Koh Chang Explorer” Gulfcraft Walkaround 31

March 2008 saw our most remote delivery to date. The delivery of a New Gulfcraft Walkaround 31 to Koh Chang, Trat. The boat arrived at Ocean marina, Pattaya, where the Pre delivery inspection was carried out and after shipping assembly gave the owner Mr Jeff Bukamier the chance to get to know his new boat. This boat was custom designed by Jeff, as his preferences were for lots of shade and cold storage, plus the larger 225 hp engine package. Go Boating exceeded Jeff’s requests on producing a fine looking boat and he was extremely happy with our work. Obviously Koh Chang is some way from Ocean Marina, in fact 110 NM ! The trip started early one morning with the owner and his friend and 3 from Go Boating’s team on board, and everything looked like a perfect day for a delivery until we rounded the head at Satahip, ! The sea’s turned into a 2 meter swell from the Stbd bow, but as instructed Jeff trimmed the boat to perfection and we maintained a steady 25knots into this annoying swell. Further into the trip as we approached Chanthaburi the seas calmed and Jeff was keen to achieve the boats top speed of 43knots, which brought a smile to all those on board. The trip took 4 hours total, and when we arrived at the ferry terminal on Koh Chang a well deserved lunch was waiting for all. Go Boating have recently just visited the vessel to carry out its first service on Koh Chang.
