The Interesting Velox 560 from Highfield boats
The presenter typically reviews jet-powered personal watercraft (PWC), making several aspects of the Velox 560 unfamiliar.
That fresh perspective arguably makes the review even more insightful from our point of view.
The Highfield Velox 560 could introduce a different approach to recreational jet-powered RIBs in the US.
The 5.6-metre (19 ft) model reportedly features a 300 hp Rotax jet engine and reaches speeds of around 50 mph (80 km/h / 43.4 knots).
The specifications indicate a maximum power of 230 hp…
Its aluminium hull and inflatable tubes are said to provide the stability of a conventional 21- to 23-foot boat.
Multiple air chambers could improve safety by keeping the remaining tubes inflated after a puncture.
A large swim platform, modular seating for up to five people and strong offshore capability may appeal to coastal boaters seeking speed, versatility and confidence in agitated water.
