The Morris Frances is true "pocket-cruiser" with abilities far outreaching other boats of similar size. She was designed to be comfortable, capable, and able to deliver an owner safely anywhere. TRUANT has had two loving owners, the most recent (of nearly 20 years) who has made significant upgrades to the boat including a Morris Yachts installed enclosed head, and a complete removal and rebuild of her Yanmar engine and transmission. TRUANT is a fine example of this well respected design.Additional Specs, Equipment and Information: Boat Name TruantSpecs Builder: Morris Yachts (Hull, Deck, bulkheads, etc) Designer: Chuck PaineDimensions LOA: 26 ft 0 in Beam: 8 ft 2 in LWL: 21 ft 3 in Maximum Draft: 3 ft 10 in Displacement: 6800 lbsEngines Engine Brand: Yanmar Engine Model: 1 GMTanks Fresh Water Tanks: (25 Gallons) Dimensions Ballast: 3,400 lbs Ext.
