BELLA FIGURA

Runabouts BELLA FIGURA

Bella Figura literally translates from Italian to “good figure”, but it means much more. It’s an Italian expression for how you should live your life. Italians have this thing about representing one’s family, that you’re going to be a good representative of your family, you’re always going to dress neatly, and not look like a slob and that you’re going to always make a good impression. They call that ‘Bella Figura.’”

The boat Bella Figura will always make a good impression. She’s a round bilge runabout-style boat with firm deadrise, not too wide stern, reasonable flare forward and eye-pleasing tumblehome aft. The keel extends nearly the length of the water line, deep enough and stopping just forward of the propeller and rudder to allow for protection of these underwater appendages. She will not only be fast for the power installed but, of greater importance, an excellent performer in rough and smooth water.
