Trade-A-Boat — December 2017

(Ann) #1

in time for the Dealer Conference, so
watch this space.
Whilst John Haines wasn’t happy
with the windscreen and is currently
refitting another, it was in fact quite
acceptable but I will be pleased to see
the production unit which I believe
will fill the void between the top of the
console and the bottom of the T-top but
still include a folding window section to
increase airflow on those hot and balmy
days. The comfortable helm has plenty
of room for electronics, accessories and
twin binnacle controls, plus the twin
Simrad NSS16 evo 3 multi-function
displays, Lectrotab trim tab controls,
JL Audio display, refreshment holders
and a very sporty steering wheel with
adjustable helm.
I particularly liked the access to
the rear of the dash for servicing
instruments and all of the many
electrical components. The dash simply
unclips from the top and tilts forward


LEFT The sleek hull looks somewhat
sexy.
RIGHT The demonstration boat didn’t
break its grip in steep banking turns.
BELOW Twin Suzuki 350hp four-stroke
engines catapulted this Signature centre
console to a peak speed of 54.5kts
(101kph) in an offshore run.
