Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
The new Targa 25 GT is the first in a new range of outboard-powered Targas now available on models from 23 up to 30.1. This represents the first outboard-powered installation on a Targa, offering both 45-knot performance and smooth running from its capable hull. The GT version features a modified layout without a flybridge, meaning a sleek, flat top roof, which can be specified with an optional sunroof. The aft deck is changed to include extra storage and twin gates for easy access through the transom. This model can also be specified with the optional BlackLine package for the latest in on-trend style and colours.
The interior layout mirrors that of the standard 25.1 model, with a comfortable pilot house offering year-round protection as well as aft cabin sleeping accommodation for two plus two and an optional forward toilet module.
