GRAF ONTARIO
The trendsetting idea for a compact and sporty wooden motorboat has been on the minds of the Graf team for some time. With a weight of just a little over 2 tonnes and a waterline of barely more than six metres, the Ontario embodies sportiness and an almost enchanting elegance. The version with an open transom radiates such an astounding superiority that one falls in love with it immediately. Of course, it is also available with a classic stern for the purists. The term “rear seat” actually doesn’t do justice to what has been conceived for the area behind the driver’s seat. A sophisticated construction enables the seat to be used both in and contrary to the direction of travel. With the help of a variable table, a generously-sized double-length lying surface can be created. On request, an electric motor provides the necessary propulsion, coupled with unclouded joy on the water.
