30% less fuel – 40% longer range

The twin counter-rotating propellers face forward and work in undisturbed water. The propeller thrust is parallel with the hull. All power drives the boat forward.

All exhaust fumes are emitted through the pods, into the prop wash and carried well behind the boat for improved onboard comfort. 

The propellers are positioned well under the hull to eliminate the risk of air intrusion and cavitation, even in sharp turns and under full acceleration.

 

Forward-facing propellers, with no exhausts through the hub, minimize the hub diameter. This gives a proportionally much larger active blade area, and better grip in the water.
