Port Angeles, WA — September 15, 2025 — BRIX Marine has announced the delivery of Full Metal Jacket, a 3814-CTC-SWA Classic Tunnel Catamaran with starboard walkaround and flybridge lounge, designed as part of the company’s RecPro lineup. Built for recreational use in Alaska, the vessel combines fishing capability with the comfort needed for extended cruising.
At 38 feet in hull length with a 14-foot beam and an overall length of 44 feet, Full Metal Jacket is powered by twin Yamaha XTO 450 horsepower outboards. Dual helm stations—one in the cabin and one on the aft deck—are equipped with joystick steering and autopilot for precise handling. Dual 250-gallon fuel tanks and a 20 kW Northern Lights generator provide range and reliability for multi-day trips.
On deck, Full Metal Jacket features BRIX Marine’s Beachcomber bow door for direct shore access, an extended transom, fish lockers, and a dedicated cleaning station. Rod holders, downrigger pads, and a pot puller outfit the boat for serious fishing, while a roof-mounted davit and tender package add independence and safety for remote cruising.
Inside, the cabin is fully insulated and arranged for comfort. A suspension-mounted helm chair, wrap-around settee with convertible berth, a quarter berth, and split cuddy staterooms provide sleeping and seating options for extended outings. The galley includes a refrigerator-freezer, induction cooktop, speed oven, and solid-surface counters. The enclosed head compartment is industry leading for the vessel size and offers a freshwater toilet, Corian counter, and separate shower stall. Heating and defrost systems support all-weather operation.
Electronics and communications are centered on a Garmin navigation suite with multifunction displays, radar, sonar, VHF, and cameras. A Fusion stereo system provides audio throughout the vessel. To support extended stays off-grid, the boat has been wired for a customer-supplied Starlink Mini antenna for satellite connectivity.
“Full Metal Jacket highlights the versatility of our RecPro lineup,” said Captain Charlie Crane, Sales and Marketing Director at BRIX Marine. “It’s a boat that can handle Alaska’s waters as both a capable fishing platform and a comfortable cruiser. Working closely with the owners allowed us to tailor every detail to their needs.”
Full Metal Jacket can be found around its homeport in Sitka, Alaska.
