RIDE QUALITY

Aquastar have chosen the engine position with great care.  Midship engine location and siting of fuel tanks keeps the main weight central, where it should be.  To give a much superior ride, without the bow riding up and slapping, which the planing boats suffer with aft mounted engines.  Many of our recent orders from planing boat customers now appreciate the advantages of the correct balance the Aquastar gives across the speed range.
