Powerboats V-hull

• Statement Marine  
  Statement Marine utilizes the latest high-performance technologies and is the talk of the performance boat industry. The 42’ v-hull design incorporates hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and ergonomics, into a top-quality high-performance boat without compromising safety and comfort. The cockpit rides on an exclusive patented shock absorbing “air-cushioned” system; mitigating the jarring impact typically experienced by V-bottom hulls. The aerodynamic hull design is uniquely smooth, stable and absent of typical chine-walking, porpoising and nose-diving displayed by most v-bottoms. Powered by twin Mercury Racing 1075 SCi engines, requires almost no wheel input at 137-plus mph. Custom design, paint, and interior with emphasis on quality and customer satisfaction, make the ultimate Statement!   (Added: 10-Jan-2010 Hits: 70)  My Links | Rate | Cached | Visit Statement Marine
