fastened with snaps, are on the soft side, but this will be adjusted on the next models. We tested the Benelux version with standard radio and refrigerator. But a lot of options remain available. Optionally, you can have the boat equipped with a sturdy T-Top or with a cabin under the foredeck. This creates two spacious covered sleeping areas. Technology The stepped underwater hull makes the boat suitable for sailing in big waves and has double steps for faster planing. When you accelerate you notice the fantastic Honda technology of this 3.5 liter V6 engine. At low revs, BLAST helps accelerate quickly. Above 4000 rpm, variable valve timing and orifice comes into play for extra power. And when cruising leisurely, Ecomo minimizes your fuel consumption. The digital IST throttle lever shifts smoothly, and it’s protected against unexpected throttling. Violence The 250 hp is a hefty engine at the transom, but because it can make a big turn, the Protagon 25 maneuvers like a sloop. The boat tracks excellently and quietly sailing needs virtually no steering correction. For the turning circle, 10 meters of space is enough and when sailing fast you can pull the boat through the turn almost on its side. Jumping over the waves, the boat doesn’t budge. You notice that the 25 is very heavily laminated. This great Greek is made to withstand any natural violence. Even at the top speed of 80 km/h, the Protagon feels stable. You notice that this is a wonderful boat for both sailing at sea or on large lakes. But the quiet 250 hp Honda V6 also makes the boat suitable for cruising through natural areas.
