Dimensions & Capacity

• Length Overall (LOA): about 20' 4" (6.20 m)
• Beam: 8' 0" (2.44-2.55 m) wide - gives more interior space than many comparable boats.
• Fuel Capacity: ≈ 33 gallons
• Max People Capacity: 8 persons (typical configuration)
• Hull & Deck: Fiberglass hull, deep-vee hull shape with ~ 20° deadrise.

Hull & Layout Design Highlights

• BeamForward™ design - carries full beam further forward, creating more usable bow space and improving passenger comfort.
• AftAdvantage™ cockpit layout - extends the aft seating area to the very back of the running surface, then adds the swim platform. This keeps the platform from eating into usable interior space, maximizing cockpit room.
• Integrated swim platform (standard) - ideal for boarding, swimming, or water sports.

• Cup holders (usually 5-6) and grab handles for safety and convenience.
• Bow seating, plus comfortable seating throughout the cockpit.
• Fuel fill with integrated vent.
• Lockable glove box (port side).
• In-floor ski/wakeboard storage - helps safely stow gear and keep cockpit uncluttered.

✅ Why These Features Matter

• Ample seating, storage, and onboard conveniences (cooler, stereo, storage locker) make it a versatile runabout - whether you're tubing, cruising, or just relaxing.
