The completely redesigned sleek and tinted hardened glass flat windshield evolves the iconic Protector lines while increasing space and improving durability. Three supporting beams forward and two main beams aft, provide stiffness and reinforcement to the pilothouse, making the new Protectors even more rugged than before. The new 100% watertight cabin gives Captain and crew total confidence, even when the weather gets rough.
An integrated Deep-V design, that now extends even further back combines with multi-chambered Hypalon tubes to ensure each Protector cuts through the waves with ease. A newly redesigned hull widened using a winged flare adds 10 square feet of aft deck space and increases cabin walk-around by seven inches port and starboard.
The world’s most versatile and high-performance hull now has even more wave-busting power to get you to the next port of call. With a Max HP of 1,350 on the larger models this puts these boats in a league of their own. Enhanced seat bolsters engineered to stiffen and join the hull, deck and cabin into one uniform amalgamate provide even smoother running in tough conditions. The new design combined with Mercury’s latest developments in engine technology makes for an unbeatable package.
The new bright and seriously spacious cabin interior includes a fully operational sliding sunroof and dual sliding windows for increased natural light and controlled airflow. The new windshield design reduces interior glare and a pair of newly integrated overhead handhelds for easy-reach run the full length of the pilothouse.
A new roof design extends further aft to provide better protection from the overhead sun and elements. With the drop curtain down (in inclement weather) the new roof enlarges the weather-proof pilothouse by 20 square feet. In addition, the entire roof top now houses designated mounting pads for a variety of equipment (search light, mast, FLIR night-vision camera and so on).
The companionway has been offset to port, providing additional space for an 18 inch display. Plus, a new ‘gear-drop zone’ molded into the port-side dash provides dual cup holders and two molded wells, perfect for stashing an iPad, phones, sunglasses and the like.
The quarter-seats behind the helm seats have been vastly improved to now comfortably seat guests. The larger and squared off quarter-seats double as flip-up watertight store lockers. The ultra-comfortable adventure boat is now supremely equipped for passengers.
Go Anywhere. In Any Water. No detail was overlooked during the redesign of these new Protector Boats, for example, new recessed foot wells have been added to provide much-needed space while sitting at the helm seats. In addition, the overhead electronics panel has quadrupled in size to now accommodate a multitude of electronic controls. Not only VHF and stereo, but now plenty of room for two auxiliary stereo speakers rounding out a complete entertainment sanctuary.
