FUSION 17
Do anything, go anywhere, anytime!
The ultimate versatility in a single craft
This multi-purpose boat is capable of everything including inshore and offshore fishing, flats and estuary fishing, skiing, wakeboarding and tubing, and leisure boating.
Set up your FUSION 17 for offshore fishing then come back and convert it within 15 minutes to a family leisure/water skiing boat. Then later in the day convert your FUSION into a flats fishing boat. All design features on the FUSION 17 have more than one function such as the Railblaza starports that can take over 30 receptacles. The under deck hatches on the FUSION 17 triple up as a wakeboard locker, fish hatch or ballast tanks.
All in one day, with one boat.
DESIGN
The hull length and gunwale height to width ratio follows the modern Bay Boat design popular in America.
The FUSION design is based on this international design trend where the beam is wider to length ratio. This allows the boat to be stable, get on the plane easily and provides ample deck space, making the FUSION one of the most versatile boats in its class.
This design trend allows for a smooth and stable boat which can accommodate a wide HP range. Clever use of deck space, console design and positioning gives you the feeling of space, perfect for a variety of activities.
