Following the success of the 4000, Dreadnort Boats have launched their first V5500CC.
The design brief for the vertical bow centre-console V5500 CC, was for an incredibly soft riding weapon tailored to the owners needs in every way. The design work only finished a month before this beauty hit the water, with a can-do attitude, the boys at Dreadnort Boats kept up with the owners ideas and incorporated into the build.
The design started out at 5.5m, an outboard pod was asked for and incorporated, and due to Dreadnorts design philosophy of extending the bottom plates under the pod, the design ended up 5.76m overall (not including outboard or bowsprit). The cockpit was designed in a way that you can easily reach over the back of the boat, another must for the owner. The the top of the console folds down into the front of the boat for reduced windage when towed and easier stowage in a carport.
Thew V5500 CC is 5.76m overall, with a beam of 2.30m, and a trailerable weight of around 1970 kgs. The first V5500 CC is powered by a Suzuki 150.
The dreadnaught and vertical bows on the Dreadnort range is not there for styling, it suits a purpose, with its weight better distributed over its waterplane area the vessel exhibits notably less pitching than a conventional hull form. It also allows for a lot finer entry to provide you with a softer ride.
Dreadnort Boats build to order, they will design and build a boat around you and your favorite aquatic activity. They are happy to supply a boat from bare hull to completely finished.
