Ocean Cylinder
Deluxe swivel seats make for a comfortable ride and are mounted to aluminium storage boxes, the passenger side consisting of an extended version of the same, with sink and water tap.
High side rails run the full length of the cockpit and above-head and lower grab rails are mounted across and down the rear of the cabin. Full-length fold-away seats run the length of both gunwales from the cabin to the transom. A chequer-plate top over the port side battery acts as a step into the boat's cockpit and the twin Suzukis are mounted on a large platform pod.
RIDE
Stability at rest is exceptional, due to the rigid inflatable concept. Underway, the boat is loaded with power and is soft riding and sure-footed. While the 26-degree deadrise in the hull brings such a pleasant ride, the first few heavy corners are somewhat different to the norm—the boat leans more heavily into the corners than one would expect. And while this may 'feel' a little different, the boat sticks to the water like glue and exudes a quality very few alloy hulls can offer.
