LEKKER BOATS
The Dutch boat company presents the newest edition of their Damsko: the V7. An all-in-one uncompromising boat that, like its predecessors, combines clean design, brute power, and typical Dutch ‘gezelligheid’ to the waters. The V7 is Damsko’s biggest update thus far, with a brand new underwater body, optimised for comfort and usability. Within seven years LEKKER Boats has sent out 85 custom made Damskos across the world. Thanks to a new underwater body, the V7 bounces 37% less compared to the V6. The boat flows smoothly through the water, even in bends, without compromising on speed or design. With a more spacious and better-isolated engine bay, the boat is now quieter and has space for up to 430 HP. The improved spray rail prevents water from splashing into the boat, which of course is very helpful when racing through the waves at 49 knots through open waters. Interested?
