When you fish aboard the RED ROOSTER III you will be fishing in style.
She is a custom aluminum yacht built exclusively for long range
sportfishing. Designed with the fisherman in mind, her 105 feet of
fishing luxury combines speed and ability with extreme comfort. The RED
ROOSTER III features sixteen private air conditioned staterooms with hot
and cold water wash basins. Each stateroom is fully carpeted, with
plenty of storage and large comfortable berths. There are reading lights
in every berth, electrical outlets for your convenience and large
mirrors above each wash basin.
The spacious main salon and
galley area of the RED ROOSTER III is the hub of activity where you can
relax and discuss the days catch with your fellow fisherman. In the
lounge you will enjoy the large oval couch and wet bar with two ice
makers. Music maybe piped throughout the boat and video movies are shown
in the galley area. There are a variety of VCR tapes to choose from
aboard, if you have a favorite you would like to share please feel free
to bring it. For a feeling of true luxury, you will enjoy the teak,
stylish fabrics, and carpet throughout the interior. For your
convenience there are five heads and five fresh hot water showers
aboard.
On deck, the RED ROOSTER III
shows she is a sportfishing yacht with a mission in mind. There is a
tremendous amount of fishing and rail space. The large refrigerated fish
holds will carry your catch "first day fresh" back to San Diego. A large
four compartment bait tank on the stern and two slammer's below deck
will take care of your live bait needs. If you feel like kicking back
and relaxing in the fresh sea breeze you will no doubt be heading for
the spacious sun deck.
In the RED ROOSTER III's large
engine room there are three Detroit Diesel 12V71 main engines with twin
disc Model 514 3:1 reduction gears that give a total of 1350 horsepower
at the propellers. There are two 4-71 Detroit Diesels turning 75 K.W.
Kato A.C. generators. Two A.M.F. water-makers keep her four-thousand
gallon fresh water tanks full for all your needs. This along with the
vast array of brine, bait, bilge, fuel and fire pumps make safety at sea
an easy task. Three fuel tanks with a capacity of eighteen-thousand,
combined with her extremely economical power plants, will allow the RED
ROOSTER III to travel from San Diego to the Hawaiian Islands and back on
one fueling.
On the bridge of the RED ROOSTER
III the electronics are first rate, they include a color enhanced
omni-directional scanning sonar and a standby color directional sonar. A
Global Positioning Satellite navigation system with an integral video
display. The G.P.S. pinpoints ship location within a few feet and
displays the information on an electronic chart, allowing un-paralleled
accuracy to the hot fishing spot every time. A computerized infra-red
satellite imaging system scans world wide to displays weather patterns,
sea temperatures and current breaks on a color monitor. The RED ROOSTER
III has a Furuno 64 mile radar with plotter that synchronizes with the
G.P.S. to give pin point location on a navigational chart at the push of
a button, very high tech. The Rooster also carries a 48 nautical mile
"short range" radar as backup.
Other electronics include two
digital synthesized single side band radios, weatherfax, a ham radio
outfit, two multi-channel scanning V.H.F. radios with directional
finding capability, Sperry auto-pilot, watch-alert, three fathometers
and programmable depth alarm. Add to this list miscellaneous equipment
such as intercom, sea-water temperature indicator, a 40 channel C.B. and
an extensive bank of monitoring equipment and warning alarms. One of the
most impressive things about all this equipment is that it is organized
in a extremely "user friendly" manner, which gives RED ROOSTER III the
ability to do her job quite efficiently. For your convenience a
satellite phone is available. This enables access to family and business
as easily as if you were home.
The RED ROOSTER III is inspected
and licensed annually by both the American Bureau of Shipping and the
U.S. Coast Guard confirming her exceptional water-tight integrity,
stability, and safety. You simply cannot find a better vessel.
