Abaco 23 preview

The specs are:
23' LOA by exactly 8' beam.
Light displacement 3,800 lbs with 14" draft.
Max 300 HP (225 Kw)

It is a very classic, smooth riding hull. 17 degrees deadrise at transom, variable deadrise. The hull shape and styling is inspired by the rugged Bahamian outboard boats from the Abacos, therefore the name.
Construction is our standard epoxy-plywood composite with foam sandwich as an option.
Other options: single or twin outboards either in traditional motorwell or on a bracket.

Plans are 100% complete and will be available first week of March.
