2004 Anderson Custom Boats Anderson 31

Anderson 31: The Flagship Built for Anything

1. General Information

The Anderson 31 is the largest and most capable hull from Anderson Custom Boats, first conceived in 2004 as a US Coast Guard inspected passenger-for-hire vessel on the North Shore of Oahu. At 9.45 m long with a 3.05 m beam, it is a spacious, powerful and supremely versatile platform with enough size that virtually any layout or equipment can be incorporated. Today these hulls work as commercial fishing platforms, charter fishing boats, dive boats serving tourists, agency fire boats and high-end sport boats. Sleeping three to five and carrying roughly 946 to 1,893 L of fuel, the Anderson 31 offers genuine offshore range, a commanding pilothouse and the load capacity to take on demanding jobs.

2. Construction and Design

Like every Anderson boat, the 31 is hand-built around a hand-laid fibreglass hull, with decks and cabin hand-constructed in fibreglass over wood and finished with non-skid surfacing. A dry weight of around 4,082 to 4,536 kg, a 0.61 m hull draft and a broad 3.05 m beam give the boat a solid, stable feel in open water and the capacity for heavy commercial payloads or large groups of passengers. The pilothouse or centre console layout can be tailored to the mission, whether that means a dive deck and passenger seating, fish holds and work gear, fire-fighting equipment or a refined sport-boat fit-out. Power options include twin outboards, gas or diesel sterndrives, or a diesel inboard.

4. Summary

It answers the need for space, payload, range and a fully customised layout. For buyers seeking a flagship pilothouse with a proven working pedigree, the Anderson 31 sets the benchmark.
