Engine mount is integrated into the inner mold. Engine compartment soundproofed with insulating foam. Engine control panel (tachometer and alarms) with engine control lever in port cockpit. Stainless steel propeller shaft protected in a GRP skeg molded with the hull. Fixed three or two-blade propeller depending on engine. 75 L rotomolded fuel tank with electric gauge. Water filter for cooling system.

The hull is a single-skin GRP construction. Reinforced points (keel, rudder, shroud plates, hull-deck joint) strengthen the structure. A structural inner molding is glued and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important because it absorbs stresses at pressure points (shroud, keel, rudder, etc.) and distributes loads, ensuring stress reduction on the hull. The inner molding surface material facilitates cleaning and improves finish. The stainless steel propeller shaft is mounted and protected in a GRP skeg. Standard hull color is white with blue and silver stripes. Steel Blue is available as an option. The deck is 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 deck movement areas.
