Hull design is possibly the most important aspect of creating the boat you want. It’s creation is the end result of complex calculations for a variable set of load conditions, powering options, hydrostatics, stability, and seakeeping. Deadrise configuration, center of gravity, wetted area, bottom loading, speed and fuel consumption are all in play while focusing on a beautiful set of lines. That’s what we’re known for, beautiful boats that perform at the top of the industry.
We have worked with the world’s leading tank test facilities in furthering our work for the best possible ride, a desired speed and sea state. The result… legendary hulls that are known worldwide for a smooth ride that feels like the boat is so much bigger than it really is.
