CHARACTERISTICS                                                     
While the hull’s dimensions and structure are standard, many other features of the boat can be configured as per owner’s requirements. This includes deck layout, wheelhouse dimensions, engine type and power, tankage and deck equipment.

The standard layout includes several high capacity storage options : 2 forward seat lockers with waterproof lids, 1 cabin seat locker and 2 dive bottles lockers (with a capacity of 6 50 lt.

The boat can be equipped with a small crane installed on a reinforced base.

Push-knees (optional) are designed and built as per owner requirements to address specific work conditions.
The heavy duty bow door is 1.7 mt. wide.

The opening system can be manual (winch) or hydraulic. The aft deck, 1.8 mt. long x 2.8 mt. Wide, is a safe working area. Stern platform to owner’s specifications.

The toilet compartment is small (1100 mm. x 700 mm.) but can be outfitted with WC, a small sink a shower-head. Access can be from the cabin or exterior from the side deck.
In the standard layout the wheelhouse is placed slightly offset with enough room for a fore-aft
