Technohull 888

one more photo - showing the race deck arrangement

these are 275 verados "first version".

What about max speed ? and which prop have you tested?

[Adam Younger]

Speeds are in the low 90 mph (near to 150 km/h) - but very early with testing. Much more to do.

This is with Mirage propellers - but not enough pitch! I will give some more details as testing carries on and more propellers etc are tried. Also the engines are 25" shaft and will be changed to 20" soon.

Thanks for the interest

Whow , nice foto
Can you describe us the hull ?

[Adam Younger]

To describe the hull - it is a triple step hull -with a pad effect. Also multiple spray rails and a double chine. The third step is more to do with speed in choppy weather or following seas. The steps are also progressively tapered (depth of steo decreases towards the chine).The concept is more around top speeds than my other Technohull designs - but we have still managed to create a design that works well in rough water.

I have dialled in more attck to the aft step and created more stern lift - thus making a boat that flies very level. This in turn in rougher weather means that the bow is working well and helping to smooth the ride. The pad effect and spray rails are also about increasing stability and keeping the boat riding very level.

Hope this helps - without giving away too much!

Very hot Adam!

Some photos of the latest 888 model - we have made some changes to improve all round cruising and comfort.

Apparently all has goen very well and all are pleased. The boat has just been launched and with a Verado 300 is achieving 58 knots, with more development on propellers and engine heights etc.
