Blessey Marine Fleet Grows
The newest boat in the fleet is the M/V Tom Cotton, named for recently elected Senator and military veteran from Arkansas. At 38, he is currently the youngest serving member of the Senate. Built at Verret Shipyard in Plaquemine, Louisiana the 70 by 30-foot vessel has a molded depth of 10-feet eight-inches and a design draft of 8.5 feet. Air draft, with the radar/mast up, is 49 feet 11 inches, with the mast in the lowered position the air draft reduces to 43 feet 11 inches. The eye-level view at the design draft is 33.5 feet. Accommodation is provided for up to seven crewmembers in five staterooms. Propulsion power is provided by two inline, six-cylinder 660 HP Cummins QSK19 main engines turning Kahlenberg four-blade 78-inch stainless steel propellers with 58-inch pitch. Reintjes WAF-374 gears provide a 7.1:1 reduction. The M/V Tom Cotton has joined her sister ship, the M/V Meg Kennedy Moore, working the inland waterways as a part of the ever-expanding Blessey fleet.
