11’ of beam and only 20* deadrise. Should be very stable, I’d be concerned about the ride though.

From what ive seen they’re built to punch through the swell. There’s a video of one coming into haulover and totally “stuffs” but that’s kinda what they’re built to do. Pretty cool. There’s videos online about how you need to run them different than a traditional boat.

I looked at this Brabus edition at the 2024 Miami show. It was a left over 2023 and could’ve gotten it cheap. I liked the looks and functionality.

great design on a closed bow, they want to go through the waves so efficiently comes from not rolling up and over... simple way to think about it is a standard v hull rides on a sin wave, this one rides flat line, so the distance is shorter from a to b. I still can't understand them with am open bow. Puts passengers at risk. There are some pretty violent videos of people getting hurt. Look at that hull design on coast guard, pilot boats, etc and the bow is sealed and locked down and they generally are pilot house designs because it stops everyone from getting blasted by water

100% agree! Especially in ocean conditions where things can get snotty pretty quick. Another reason we passed on the brand, the open bow in a "adventure boat" makes no sense. The open transom design is also something to be wary of.

The "made for stuffing" is all fun and games until this happens
