Bottom and hull sides are of AIREX fiberglass sandwich core construction which produces a lightweight hull with an exceptional high strength factor, in addition to acoustical and thermal insulation benefits. Two additional feet of overall hull length are created by a bottom extension, which provides for an integrated boarding and swimming platform framed by a extension of the hull-sides. This configuration adds length to the bottom for maximum running efficiency.
