Focchi 900 with Twin Suzukis

The Focchi 900 is the latest model from the Italian based shipyard in Ravenna.

This short marketing video does not highlights the details per se, but the atmosphere—capturing uplifting, feel-good moments that resonate.

Its hull carries a pronounced 24° V at the stern, with limited beam and weight, only 1,600 kilograms in total.

The Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) has space for easy movement across the boat, so it seems.

It’s rather a minimalistic deck lay-out in grey with black tubes.

This configuration includes a large forward locker, a durable tubular T-Top protecting the central console.

Mounted on the transom are two Suzuki DF300AP outboards, six-cylinder engines
with 4,025 cc displacement in a 55° V.

If you’re interested I posted more videos of the brand Focchi as well as where the Suzuki outboards are presented or used.
