The Gozzo 35 Speedster Special Edition has three Mercury 300hp outboards
Italy’s Apreamare has launched the Gozzo 35 Speedster Special Edition in a black-liveried outboard engine version.
This new and strikingly innovative version of the Gozzo 35 – the yard’s best seller – has three Mercury 300hp outboard engines delivering the performance of a sport boat and a top speed of well over 40kt. The model aims to combine the typical lines and style of the Sorrento ‘gozzo’ with the sportiness and superior performance of a fast cruiser.
“Apreamare invented the planing gozzo,” says company president, Cataldo Aprea. “Then we developed sterndrive and inboard engine models and now we’re offering yet another choice: a version with outboard engines.
“We’re the only yard in all these years to master the innovation and the development of an iconic boat like the Sorrento gozzo. Our main strength is that we are pioneers in this ongoing process of modernising the gozzo, making it always contemporary and progressive. And the latest step in this renewal is the Speedster outboard version.”
The new model has elegant deck lines by Marco Casali of Too Design and a hull by Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design assisted by Cataldo Aprea. It was launched at the recent Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS).
The new Gozzo 35 Speedster has an unmistakably Mediterranean soul and offers a third propulsion option delivering almost 1000hp, designed for owners who prefer the practicality, light weight and power of outboard engines, but without sacrificing any of the tradition and style that are brand-defining features of Apreamare.
The boatyard decided to introduce the new Gozzo 35 Speedster for the first time to an audience that’s known to love/prefer outboard engine propulsion, i.e. American visitors to the recently concluded FLIBS, where it attracted interest beyond all expectations, the yard says.
