Fugu 29

Boat Overview

The new FUGU 29 RIB can cruise at 40 knots with a fuel consumption of less than 1.5 l/nm when fitted with the 350Hp engine. This is half the consumption of many boats fitted with twin outboards. You can reach the most far parts of your cruising area, cross open seas or visit new lands with less effort and without having to worry about fuel costs and having caused an outrageous environmental footprint.

Engine Type

Over the last couple of years, the trend has been to use more outboard engines. It can certainly look cool, but we don’t follow this trend. The inboard engine has too many benefits:

• Significantly lower noise
• Lower centre of gravity
• A given sunbed area
• A real bathing platform

But maybe more importantly is the huge difference in environmental footprint. Did you know that every inboard engine has a catalytic converter while no outboard engine of today has? This means that a single outboard engine has approximately 700% higher C0 emissions and 1300% higher HC+NOx emissions.

Hull Design

A world class hull

With FUGU 29, we have a world premiere of a new and advanced stepped hull which has been developed during the last 5 years by Petestep. Over 300 prototypes have been built during the development phase and all data have been gathered and analysed to produce the best hull possible.

The hull has two steps and deflectors instead of traditional spray rails. The deflectors redirect the spray water backwards and push the boat forward. This results in:

• Less fuel consumption
• Less noise
• A softer journey

Another positive effect is that the boat goes straighter in both low and high speeds. With the single propeller option, this means no more drawling in low speeds.
