The engine mounting is integrated into the inner 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 propeller shaft is protected in a molded GRP skeg with the hull. Fixed three- or two-blade propeller depending on the engine. Rotomolded fuel tank of 75 L with electric gauge. Water filter for the cooling system.

The hull is made of monocoque GRP. 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 stresses at pressure points (shrouds, keel, rudder, etc.) and distributes loads, ensuring reduced stresses on the hull. The surface material of the inner mold facilitates cleaning and improves finish. The stainless steel propeller shaft is mounted and protected in a GRP skeg. The standard color of the hull is white with a blue and silver livery. Steel Blue is available optionally. The deck is built with sandwich construction (fiberglass and balsa) for optimal strength/weight ratio and thermal and acoustic insulation. An "diamond point" non-slip surface increases safety in all moving areas on the deck.
