The 6,5-metre P6.5 carries up to 12 people and accepts engines up to 250 hp, while retaining generous open deck space.

The larger P7 stretches to 6,95 metres, increases capacity to 13 passengers and raises maximum outboard power to 300 hp.

Both models use five-chamber inflatable tubes, robust aluminium construction and configurable consoles, seating and equipment tailored to specific professional roles.
