and 54 Opens. This two-stateroom design can pack a pair of
Volvo Penta IPS600 D6 engines, pushing her to a top hop of
37 knots. (Cummins power plants are also available.) Seating and
sun pads are designed for 12 people to cruise aboard in comfort
during day cruises, so bring the kids — and their friends, and
their friends’ friends. ¶ Last but not least, Kadey-Krogen is intro-
ducing the Summit line of motoryachts, created in partnership


with Michael Peters Yacht Design. The fi rst model is the Summit
54, a planing-hull design that’s completely diff erent from the
more than 600 displacement trawler yachts Kadey-Krogen has
launched during the past 40 years. The builder says the yacht’s
interior will be sophisticated, unlike “ultra-trendy interiors that
simply don’t pass the test of time.” Orders for the fi rst Summit
54 hulls are being taken now, with delivery expected in 2019.
