INTEGRITY is docked undercover at Huckins Yacht Corporation in Jacksonville Florida and she awaits your white glove inspection.  

INTEGRITY encompasses the build quality plus the fit and finish one would expect from one of North America’s expert custom yacht builders. INTEGRITY is a beautiful yacht and this Huckins was ordered by experienced jet boat owners. This yacht is powered by Cummins QSM 11 Diesels with HamiltonJet Waterjet Propulsion. The exterior shows quite well thanks to the owner’s high standards of maintenance. The climate controlled bridge deck is among the very finest seen on a vessel of this kind. Additionally found on the exterior, a convenient cockpit and a forward seating area, both perfectly suited for relaxing outdoors. The custom interior offers two luxuriously appointed staterooms, a gourmet galley, and open salon surrounded by large windows. INTEGRITY offers her owners and guests an uncommonly high level of luxury and this yacht is set up perfectly for extended trips. Please review our full specifications, we have included information about Huckins “Quadraconic” hull design plus detailed information on Hamiltonjet’s waterjet propulsion. 

Huckins Yacht Corporation’s Quadraconic Hull has been described as seakindly, legendary, even iconic. Let’s examine some facts about Huckin’s Quadraconic Hull Design. 

The name itself was derived from the partaking of four conical insertions that generate a specific form of hull. Huckin's Quadraconic design allowed for the following characteristics.

1. The hull flattens out towards the aft section. This design feature drastically reduces roll and improves stability.

2. Trim Tabs are not required and the trim angle remains the same regardless of fuel load. 

3. INTEGRITY is free from pounding and she tracks like an arrow.

The attractive teak swim platform on INTEGRITY helps to simplify boarding and access to the water. A carbon fiber passerelle was built for the yacht and it is stored on the swim platform. The passerelle weighs only 28 pounds and it is convenient for one person to manage. The universal joint of the passerelle connects to the swim platform at six locations. Moving forward to the aft deck, you walk through a double wide transom door that was purpose built to ensure handling the yacht’s tender is always as simple as possible. The aft deck is roomy enough to make this space comfortable. As you start inspecting the exterior it is apparent INTEGRITY has been pampered since her launch. The yacht has benefited from being kept undercover, her Fighting Lady Yellow Paint shines, all brightwork has just been varnished, and the decks have just been freshly painted. Access to the engine room is found underfoot and a noteworthy feature is the fact the entire aft deck is completely removable. Should a major maintenance item ever turn up, the problem can be addressed in a straightforward manner.

The builders at Huckins Yacht Corporation outdid themselves when they created the exceptional bridge deck for INTEGRITY. This entire space is surrounded isinglass curtains, with an option to add screens, and sun shades whenever desired. The isinglass, screens, and shades have all been designed to attach at the same time; a handy feature to depending on the weather. Examine the forward windshield closer and you will find there are no blind spots. The windshield is just one of many intuitive custom details requested by the yacht’s owner, an experienced boater who had previously owned two jet powered Hinckley Yachts. Another custom touch found on the bridge are the two chart tables located just aft of the helm. Notice the tabletops are the perfect size to accommodate your navigation charts. Two comfortable settees face each other toward the aft portion of the bridge deck and this entire area is climate controlled and complimented by halogen lighting overhead.

The salon is six steps down from the bridge deck, accessed via a companionway from the Starboard side of the bridge deck. The six windows that surround the salon are so large, it is easy to forget you have just stepped down into the accommodations area of an express yacht. Speaking of the large windows, each one was purpose built at the client’s request to assit with thermal control and sound damping. Venetian Blinds are built in between the panes of glass. The interior woodwork is all Makore African Cherry and the cherry wood was all cut from one single tree. The artisans at Huckins Yacht Corporation joinery is first class and their skills are on display with book matched woodwork and curved wood joinery seen throughout the interior of INTEGRITY. Ultrasuede wallcoverings used throughout the interior compliment the African Cherry joinery.

The master stateroom on INTEGRITY is situated just a few steps down and aft of the salon, accessed via a companionway built into the port side of the yacht. The master stateroom offers her owners luxuries rarely seen on a vessel of this type. There is an oversized walk around queen bed and a His and Hers bath for example. The His and Hers master bath stretches across the yacht’s entire beam and affords the owners privacy and vastly more space than typical. The master bath joins in the middle with each having an entrance into the large walk-in shower. Four New Found Metal 316 stainless opening ports help to welcome natural light into this magnificent cabin. There is an abundant amount of built in storage found throughout the master, all tucked gracefully away behind grain matched Makore wood cabinet fronts.

Engine room access is beneath the aft deck. There is a convenient hatch for regular maintenance and engine room checks however it is worth mentioning, the entire deck is easily removable. Should a major issue arise it is reassuring to know you have appropriate access to all engine room equipment and machinery. Placing the engines all the way aft allows INTEGRITY to pivot on her tail and this yacht is highly maneuverable and there are no vibrations to speak of. Another benefit is the fact you are not standing over the power-plants while cruising and any heat, smell, or sound associated with the engine room is separated completely from the yacht's interior. This engine room is well insulated and INTEGRITY is indeed a quite boat while underway. In fact if tested, the yacht would prove she is never louder than 75 DBA. Noise mitigation was paramount to the clients that ordered this Huckins Linwood; so, the builder guaranteed the boat would be no louder than 75 DBA. If she was louder, the client could forgo purchasing this boat! The engine room compartment is roomy and designed properly to allow enough access for no nonsense regular maintenance.

After owning two Hamilton Jet power boats, Polly and I decided to combine our 40 years of boating experience with the 80 years of Huckins design to create an extraordinary special vessel. The result is INTEGRITY, a boat that runs quiet without vibration, give a soft ride, tracks straight as an arrow, and steers effortlessly. After 50,000 miles of cruising, 7 trips up the Eastern Seaboard with 7 trips up the Tenntom and a Great Loop thrown in, we have  experienced all types of weather and sea conditions and never once felt that INTEGRITY could not handle them! The Hamilton Jets with their inherent shallow draft free us from the worry of running gear damage and allow us to cruise in waters that others fear. We have never, ever, touched bottom. Owing a Huckins allows us to enjoy the "thumbs up" we get from passing boaters and after docking, being informed that we have the best looking boat in the marina. Polly and I enjoy inviting guests to cruise on our boat because the interior arrangement allows for complete separation and privacy. We have never felt a sense of confinement and our guests disembark remaining good friends. Needles to say, we would build the same boat all over again.
