VENUS 5.0m MKII
HALF CABIN
|
|
| Essentially a similar boat to the V-Sea,
the Venus offers 1.80m bunks with an optional in-fill section to convert
to a large double bunk. Bunk cushions and accessory side shelves and
back rests are covered in matching long wearing fabrics. The cabin
also has clear side windows. Boarding steps either side of the engine pod are standard and very helpful when boarding the boat from a beach. Also standard, is a padded facing on the full length side pocket, including aluminium stair tread capping to allow the side pocket facing to be used as a step. In the standard version of the Venus, a fold-down bench style aft lounge is fitted. The Venus photographed for this brochure has been fitted with an optional wrap-around style lounge that is extremely popular with customers. It is a comfortable lounge that can be removed from the boat completely if required for serious fishing. Performance The 5.Om V-Sea and Venus hulls are extremely buoyant aft and well capable of carrying larger horsepower than is required for top performance. The maximum recommended horsepower is 90HP, with a 70 providing more than adequate performance with average loading. |

| Tested with a standard 90HP
Evinrude two stroke engine, these boats have a top speed of 40 knots
(74 Km/h), and an optimum cruise of 31 knots (57.5 Km/h) at 4000 rpm.
They can be backed off to 3500 in rough weather when they will still
maintain a clean planing attitude at 25 knots. Troll speeds of 6.5
knots are achieved at 1600 rpm. |

| The handling is brilliant, and if used
for skiing or other water sports, you will be delighted with their
ability to turn hard and their acceleration from a standing start.
The now legendary rough water performance of this hull can be attributed
to three factors. The first is the basic shape of the hull with fine
cutting edges forward and lots of lift in the upper bow forms. The second is the great buoyancy aft which allows the boat to remain high on plane when forced off the pace by very rough conditions. In this situation, the ability of the hull to run at a flat attitude means that all the best cutting forms are kept down in contact with the water where they can do their work. Finally, compare the weight of any Seafarer boat with any competitors' product of similar size. In some cases a Seafarer boat will weigh 50 percent more. The boats are built this way so they will outlast anything else, but the big bonus is that weight contributes greatly to seaworthiness and stability at rest. Drive the others first and then drive our boats as hard as they can go. After you get used to the humps and rattles of other brands, experience the quiet, civilised ride delivered by our solid, well made Seafarer boat. You'll love it. |
