SAY CARBON - SAY 29e

The SAY 29e is trimmed for sporty elegance. This impression is created, among other things, by the use of carbon, a central element of SAY CARBON. The unique use of an engine from Kreisel, known for their powerful engines, adds to the impression as does the shape of the boat. This is reinforced by the sporty damping of the seats, which offer pleasant comfort even during fast journeys. However, the number of seats on the boat is somewhat smaller. There are two fixed seats behind the windscreen. In addition, up to 4 seats on the large sun lounger, elements of which can optionally be folded down to form a backrest for a bench. The electric boat can be very strongly individualized over the configurator. The many possibilities of the colour combinations are to be emphasized here, which signal completely at will restraint or extravertedness. In the cabin there is another large berth with a roof hatch.
