The vessel, renamed the Celebri- ty, was stripped, a new steel super- structure added aft and an alumi- num stateroom installed behind the pilothouse. It was rewired, piped and outfitted to yacht standards. Extensive steel repairs were neces- sary because the hull had been ex- tensively dented, as happens to crewboats in rough water service when loading crews and supplies up against oil rigs in heavy seas. A complete new electronic pack- age was installed, consisting of Ray- theon radar and loran, Uniden VHF, Apelco hailer, Data Marine Fathometer, and Newmar Phone in- tercom. The 100-foot-long Celebrity is USCG certificated for 149 passen- gers. She is powered by two Cater- pillar D-348 engines and two Gener- al Motors generators, one 40 kw and the other 30 kw. Speed is 20 mph. The vessel, which is now like new, was bought and converted for less than $700,000, which is approxi- mately one-fourth the coast of building a new, identical boat.
