shaped, and firm, with moisture-permeable undersides that can withstand a rain shower. There’s storage space under all the benches, and the lids can be securely locked with flat Perko locks. The foredeck, gunwales, and swim platform are covered with composite anti-slip material. A thick rub rail around the swim platform minimizes the risk of damage to the aluminum. Cutting Through Waves Operating this boat-motor combination is a delight. The hull design is based on other successful AluShip tenders, allowing you to quickly accelerate and cut through waves with stability. Maneuvering is easy, and with a bit of trim, you can reach a top speed of 71 km/h. Thanks to the well-shaped bow, waves pose no problem, as the S-TNDR slices through the water like a razor. The boat glides smoothly through the breakers and can make ultra-short, smooth, and fast turns. In all maneuvers, the tender responds precisely t o the helmsman’s commands, like a welltrained police horse. Solid Handling When you power the S-TNDR through the waves, you’ll notice that the boat doesn’t rattle or creak. This is clearly a tender built for intensive use. With a total weight under 1,000 kg, the boat is easy to transport on a trailer. You could spend all day spinning, turning, and cruising on this boat, but it’s also extremely pleasant to cruise slowly. With an almost silent engine and a well-handling, comfortable tender, you can fully enjoy nature. The price of this AluShip S-TNDR 620 starts at €27,250. The Honda BF150 costs €18,589, and with a few options, this high-speed combination comes to around €50,000. For that price, you get a durable, comfortable, and excellent-performing tender.
