Concept:
-Create a bowrider with maximum space, without sacrificing performance.
Construction:
-Hatches and doors are RTM molded, to maximize strength, minimize weight, and provide a finished surface inside and out.
-Stout aluminum plates beef up the engine mounting system, to ensure perfect alignment for the long run.
Performance:
-It’s sporty, all right – cruising speed is around 40-mph and top-end busts 50.
-Hull vent gives partial advantages of a step, without the disadvantages.
Handling:
-Grips the water in hard turns; cranking the wheel hard-over at WOT is not a problem—but it is fun!
-21-degree deadrise hull handles a chop well, and there’s little pounding or vibration.
Unique features:
-Aft seat transforms from forward-facing, to aft-facing, to a flat sunpad.
-Fold-out door allows you to completely seal off the bow cockpit from the helm and stern cockpit.
