The Solemar SX27, a Maxi Rib of distinctive design and high-level finishes, has demonstrated exceptional performance thanks to the installation of the Honda 350 V8 engine. The test, conducted by Luca D’Ambrosio for The International Yachting Media, revealed a maximum speed of 50.4 knots, with reduced consumption and excellent manoeuvrability. The inflatable, built with attention to detail and ergonomics, stands out for its ability to combine comfort and performance in a unique way.
performance and consumption
The Honda 350 V8 engine, with 350 horsepower, has demonstrated an exciting couple since the lowest regimes, allowing the Solemar SX27 to achieve high speeds with optimized fuel consumption. At 25 knots, consumption is 25 liters per hour, while at 35 knots, the ideal cruising speed, consumption increases to 52 liters per hour. This data demonstrates the efficiency of the engine and the hull designed to maximize performance. The cruise speed of 35 knots is reached with a consumption of 52 liters per hour, a figure that confirms the efficiency of the engine and the design of the hull. The Honda 350 V8 engine, thanks to the VTEC technology, optimizes the performance to each regime, allowing a burning acceleration and excellent manoeuvrability.
manoeuvrability and design
The manoeuvrability of the Solemar SX27 has been tested in different conditions, demonstrating a perfect hull that allows precise evolutions and a high directionality. At 30 knots, the inflatable showed an immediate response to the helm, maintaining a stable trajectory also under agitated sea conditions. The design of the hull, combined with the VTEC technology of the Honda engine, made it possible to accelerate from 0 to 50 knots in a few seconds.
The outdoor design of the Solemar SX27 is designed to offer not only a distinctive appearance, but also a high functionality. The swallow tail design element, which embraces the Honda engine, acts as access to the water and allows an easy lift. The stern floor also turns into a “land on the sea”, offering a unique experience on board. The combination of a Honda 350 V8 engine and a hull designed for speed made the Solemar SX27 a unique experience at sea. The careful design of the Solemar yard has allowed to create a inflatable that combines exceptional performance, distinctive design and reduced consumption.
Solemar SX27 is an excellent alternative for those looking for a Maxi Rib that combines outstanding performance, distinctive design and reduced consumption. The combination of a Honda 350 V8 engine and a hull designed for speed made this inflatable a unique experience at sea. With a starting price around €105.000, the Solemar SX27 represents a quality investment for those looking for performance and comfort in a single product.
