Buyer-Centric FAQ:

Q1: What are the key advantages of a flat-bottom aluminum hull for a workboat compared to a V-hull or fiberglass?

A: A flat-bottom aluminum hull provides exceptional initial stability at rest and low speeds, which is crucial for loading/unloading cargo, transferring personnel, or performing stationary work tasks. Aluminum offers superior dent resistance (vs. fiberglass cracking) and is easier to repair in remote locations. It's the ideal combination of stability, durability, and low maintenance for utility roles.

Q2: How extensive is the customization, and what is the lead time for a configured boat?

A: Customization is at the core of this model. You can specify the console type and position, seating layout (type, quantity, location), color scheme for hull and tube, accessory packages (T-Top, wings, lighting), and engine configuration. Lead time typically ranges from 45 to 75 days post-order confirmation, depending on complexity. We provide detailed configuration sheets to guide your choices.

Q3: Is this workboat CE Certified, and why is that important for commercial use?

A: Yes, it is designed and can be supplied with CE Certification (appropriate category based on configuration). For commercial operators, this certification is often mandatory for insurance and compliance in many regions. It verifies that the vessel meets stringent European standards for construction, stability, safety, and emissions, providing assurance of its professional quality and seaworthiness.

Q4: What engine configuration do you recommend for general port utility and crew transfer?

A: For the 7.5m model used in frequent, short-haul port operations, twin engines in the recommended horsepower range (e.g., 2x115 HP) offer superior maneuverability, redundancy (critical for safety), and often better fuel efficiency at operational speeds compared to a single large engine. For longer, lighter transport runs, a single engine may be more cost-effective. We analyze your specific load and route to advise.

Q5: How does the maintenance for the aluminum hull and ORCA/PVC tubes compare to other materials?

A: Maintenance is significantly simplified. The aluminum hull requires no gelcoat upkeep, is immune to osmotic blistering, and minor damage can often be repaired with welding. ORCA Hypalon/PVC tubes are highly resistant to environmental degradation. Routine care primarily involves rinsing with fresh water and visual inspections, leading to lower lifetime operating costs.
