With a length of 12 feet and a beam of 5 feet, this dinghy can comfortably accommodate up to seven passengers, making it ideal for family outings or as a tender for larger yachts. The lightweight aluminum hull, weighing only 309 pounds, ensures easy towing and launching, while the durable hypalon tubes provide excellent resistance to UV and abrasion. The Classic 380 GT is powered by engines up to 30hp, delivering impressive performance for its size. Its deep-V hull design ensures a stable and dry ride, even in moderate seas.
