"SALISH SKY" machinery has been religiously maintained. The engine room is accessed through an electrically operated wide hatch in the cockpit. Space here is well over 5’ tall and there is plenty of room to access all sides of the engines, and all systems located here, for inspections, maintenance, and service.

"SALISH SKY" moves smoothly and swiftly by two Volvo D11 common rail diesel engines, driving Volvo IPS drives. Top speed is an amazing 35 knots. From Volvo: “Volvo Penta D11-IPS is a perfectly matched package,   powered by the in-line 6-cylinder D11, a 10.8-liter, common-rail diesel with a twin-entry turbo, and supercharger for incredible, low rpm response. Working together with a perfectly matched IPS2 pod, twin counter-rotating propellers and the Electronic Vessel Control system, this package offers excellent maneuverability, long action range and low emissions.”
