Speed Boat

The Emerald Speed Boat is a 5.5-metre fibreglass (FRP) boat built for high-speed performance on lakes, rivers and backwaters. Its Isophthalic resin and gelcoat hull is strong, light and resistant to water, sun and corrosion — ideal for tourism, resorts and water sports.

Key features:

• FRP hull with Isophthalic resin and Isophthalic gelcoat
• Outboard motor (OBM) with up to 115 HP engine capacity
• Length 5.5 m, width 1.65 m, height 1 m, draft 0.25 m
• Approximate weight 380 kg
• Available in 6-seat, 8-seat and 10-seat models

Ideal for:

• Resorts and tourism businesses
• Water sports such as skiing, wakeboarding and tubing
• Private owners and boating clubs

Why FRP?

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, FRP weighs about 1.5–1.7 tonnes per cubic metre — roughly a fifth of steel — and does not rot, corrode or get attacked by marine borers. Our isophthalic resin and gelcoat finish resists water absorption and blistering better than cheaper orthophthalic resins, keeping the boat looking good for longer.

Choosing the right model

• 6-seat: private use and small groups
• 8-seat: resorts offering short rides to families
• 10-seat: busy tourism operations that need to carry more guests per trip
• The engine brand and capacity can be matched to your use — recreational, commercial or rescue — within the 115 HP maximum

Safety and care

• Provide a well-fitting life jacket for every person on board
• Never exceed the rated seating capacity
• For tourist operations, confirm registration and survey requirements with the Kerala Maritime Board
• Rinse the boat with fresh water after use and store it out of direct sun where possible
• Inspect seats, fittings and moving parts regularly
