After two years with the inflatable, it was gradually time for a different boat.
In October 2011 we bought a new boat. We put off the decision for a long time and kept changing our minds – it was a tough choice between a rigid inflatable and a cabin boat. As you can see in the photos, it turned out to be a cabin boat.
The boat offers everything you need for a short overnight trip.

Engine upgrade
The existing 80 hp two-stroke Yamaha outboard was simply too small for the big boat, so it had to make way for a more powerful engine.
As we still wanted to enjoy the power and liveliness of a two-stroke combined with the smooth running of a four-stroke engine, we chose a Mercury Optimax two-stroke with fuel injection. The new engine now has a little more power.
