New Silver Raptor DCZ Impresses at Southampton Boat Show
DCZ's Silver Raptor: Impressive Performance and Sleek Design Unveiled
At this year's Southampton Boat Show, the Silver Raptor DCZ stole the limelight with its striking design, practical layout, and competitive pricing. The boat, unlike previous models from Silver, is a GRP weekender built in Finland, offering a blend of comfort and functionality.
The Raptor DCZ's hull incorporates a Petestep design, enabling it to reach a top speed of up to 50 knots with a single 350hp outboard. Additionally, it boasts impressive fuel efficiency of 1.1 litres per nautical mile at a speed of 22 knots.
The deep cockpit provides ample seating along three sides and features a reversible helm bench for social interaction. Two removable tables allow for dining or relaxation. The entire cockpit area can be transformed into a sunbed or used for occasional overnighting with the aid of a full camper canopy concealed beneath the aft bench.
The boat's cockpit demonstrates exceptional versatility. In addition, it offers a galley equipped with two gas rings, a sink, and a fridge/freezer, perfect for weekend getaways. Below deck, there is a double berth forward, an additional slim double under the cockpit (suited for children), and a private separate heads compartment.
The boat boasts several clever details, such as hidden fender lockers, a bow bumper with integrated spotlight, and a grabrail surrounding the windscreen, adding a touch of refinement to a boat with a reasonable price tag of £130,000 (inc VAT).
