• Two A/C independent units with separate water pumps
• Dual Racor filters for each engine
• Extra thick solid hull (not foam filled below the water line)
• Fuel system – cools fuel and forward tanks automatically flow to aft tank
• Fresh or salt water flush on heads

Each series can be built in several sizes, and as always, each boat built is custom to its buyer's specifications. No two Novatec yachts are exactly alike expressing the uniqueness of each buyer's personal preferences.
