The engine assembly is integrated into the inner mold. The engine compartment is soundproofed with insulating foam. Engine control panel (tachometers and alarms) with engine control lever in the port cockpit. The stainless steel propeller shaft is protected within a molded GRP skeg attached to the hull. Fixed propeller with three or two blades depending on the engine. Rotomolded fuel tank of 75 L with electric gauge. Water filter for cooling system.

The hull is constructed in GRP monocoque. Reinforced points (keel, rudder, shroud plates, hull-deck joint) strengthen the structure. A structural internal mold is glued and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important, as it absorbs stress at pressure points (shroud, keel, rudder, etc.) and distributes loads, ensuring reduced stress on the hull. The surface material of the internal mold facilitates cleaning and improves finish. The stainless steel propeller shaft is mounted and protected within a GRP skeg. The standard hull color is white with blue and silver livery. Steel Blue is available as an option. The deck is built in sandwich construction (fiberglass and balsa) for optimal strength-to-weight ratio and thermal and acoustic insulation. A "diamond point" non-slip surface increases safety in all moving areas on the deck.
