"Here at Arey’s Pond we just completed the latest install of an Oceanvolt motor in our 16’ Lynx catboats and we’re excited to launch the boat for its first season on Pleasant Bay next spring. From the ordering to the install and certification process, Oceanvolt makes it painless!
The photos are of a 16’ Open Cockpit Lynx that we built in 2016 and it sailed out of a dock spot at Arey’s Pond since. The boat is now for sale in our brokerage listings.
With the addition of two Oceanvolts in 19’ Caracal catboats we are building, Arey’s Pond will become the leading US partner with more installs than any other US boatbuilder." – Arey's Pond Boat Yard
The 16-foot Lynx Open-Cockpit catboat designed by Tony Davis is featured in either fiberglass or wood. The wooden version is built using the cold molded technique with cedar strips and fir. The cuddy cabin of the 16-foot Lynx is replaced with a larger cockpit and a small dry storage space forward. This electric Lynx 16' with an open cockpit has been powered by a 3.7kW Oceanvolt shaft drive motor.
