The bows large deadrise allows for sharp gentle wave entrywhile the hard square chines at the stern give maximum roll stability in a sea.

Keel:

The full keel & skeg protect the hull and propeller from costly damage and repair. This design is a sought after by cruisers who wish to ply the shallow water of the Bahamas or Florida Keys. Nice to know when you anchor in areas of strong current or large tidal swings that if you touch the bottom your full keel is there for protection.

Propeller & Rudder:

The three blade propeller throws its propeller wash against a large, strong sled-hung rudder secured at both the top and bottom. This allows for good maneuverability in rough seas as well as at slow speeds while docking.
