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

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