FS 275 Wide: A Unique and Innovative Bowrider Motorboat

Introducing FS Yachts' Latest Design Creation

The FS 275 Wide showcases a distinctive personality both inside and out. One of its standout features is the fiberglass windshield, a departure from the commonly used aluminum. This unique design integrates seamlessly with the upper arch, creating a single structure that is highlighted by a reflective glass. This clever design element gives the impression that the entire structure is being held by the glass, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Designed by one of Brazil's most reputable naval engineers, the FS 275 Wide was brought to life using cutting-edge technology. The boat was designed in Rhino 3D, and the mold was built using a CNC Router, which cut styrofoam directly from the Rhino design. This combination of advanced design software and manufacturing techniques ensures precision and quality in every aspect of the boat's construction.

When it comes to specifications, the FS 275 Wide does not disappoint. With a length of 8.30 meters and a width of 2.76 meters, this motorboat offers ample space for passengers to relax and enjoy the ride. It weighs 2,000 kilograms (without the engine) and has a fuel capacity of 250 liters. The boat can comfortably accommodate up to 14 people, making it perfect for social gatherings on the water. With a top speed of 45mph (with a 320hp sterndrive engine) and a fuel consumption rate of 35 liters per hour while cruising, the FS 275 Wide combines power and efficiency.

Functionality and comfort are at the forefront of the FS 275 Wide's design. The bow area can seat up to five people, but it can also be transformed into a double bed with the addition of cushions. The aft couches can be opened to create a gourmet area, complete with a sink, trash bin, and refrigerator. The pilot seat can be folded, allowing the pilot to navigate while standing up. Additionally, the bimini top can be fully closed, providing protection against rain and wind, ensuring a pleasant boating experience in any weather.

The FS 275 Wide project began in January 2013 and was officially launched in October 2014 at the Sao Paulo International Boat Show in Brazil. Throughout the design process, FS Yachts conducted extensive research to meet the demands of their customers. The desire for a larger cockpit, a more comfortable cabin, and additional amenities such as a bathroom and kitchen led to the creation of the FS 275 Wide.

FS Yachts' dedication to overcoming design challenges is evident in the FS 275 Wide. The boat had to strike a balance between a large cockpit and cabin space while maintaining good navigability. The team also had to ensure that the boat's design was easy to produce without compromising on quality. These challenges were successfully overcome, resulting in a motorboat that offers both style and functionality.

FS Yachts' FS 275 Wide is a testament to their commitment to providing customers with innovative and unique designs. This bowrider motorboat combines striking visual features with practical functionality, making it a dream come true for boating enthusiasts. Whether cruising on the water or enjoying time with family and friends, the FS 275 Wide offers an exceptional boating experience.
