Great Harbour TT35
A new breed of power cruiser is born. Great Harbour's Trailerable Trawler combines the comforts of a full-featured liveaboard vessel with the operational simplicity, economy and versatility of an outboard-powered craft that can be ramp-launched, stored dry and moved overland by trailer.

The TT 35 will expand your cruising horizons without cramping your style. Leading-edge composite materials make it light and strong while an easily-driven hull form provides an unprecedented combination of speed and efficiency. Inside, you will find adult-sized living spaces and home-like amenities rather than RV accessories and tight quarters common to “pocket cruisers.” Couples can enjoy a true queen island berth in a private stateroom, a full-featured galley and a spacious head. The saloon provides additional guest accommodations, and the covered cockpit can be fitted with a full weather enclosure if desired.
Twin Suzuki four-stroke outboards deliver reliability and redundancy. They also leave the interior free of mechanical noise and odors, while freeing up hull space for storage. The TT's shallow draft opens access to otherwise inaccessible anchorages and waterways, yet its modern, capable hull form is equally at home when crossing to the Bahamas or cruising the Sea of Cortez.

The TT35 can be ramp-launched, land-stored and moved overland cost-effectively by trailer. Spend the winter down south, then transition to your favorite northern cruising grounds in a matter of days rather than months. The ability to easily launch and retrieve the TT will significantly reduce maintenance, moorage and insurance costs.
While still in the construction phase, the TT project captured the attention and imagination of a number of veteran cruisers. The following unsolicited letter was sent to us soon after preliminary plans were revealed:
I have never ever fallen in love with a boat I have not seen in person until now. Finally, Ken Fickett is building the boat that I have mocked up in my head for years. As a Gulf Coast skipper who deals with skinny water regularly, all the design considerations (outboards, less draft than the usual trawlers, 10-foot beam) that you have blogged about make perfect sense to me. The hard chines forward above the waterline to limit rolling brings to mind Nordkyn Design's Wild South Project, which, though theirs is a full displacement vessel, I always thought should have been designed for outboards. The maintenance regimen for modern outboards is so much simpler than it is for diesels, pairing them with an efficient hull seemed obvious to me, yet most boat designers still regard outboards as solely for planing boats. I've seen amazing fuel efficiency with outboards on lightweight smaller boats, and with the TT you will finally prove the viability of today's fuel-efficient outboards for the long distance cruiser. Ken, you are light years ahead of other designers when it comes to this very practical vessel. - Kimberly P. Trombley.... (who subsequently became owner of hull #1. )
The Great Harbour TT 35 is a revolutionary liveaboard cruiser. It combines home-like comforts and blue-water cruising potential with economical operation, the capability for easy overland transport and the ability to explore shallow and remote waterways.
