Power, Performance, and Safety:
The SR15 LX delivers truly exceptional power for smooth and reliable performance. It is equipped to handle a maximum engine capacity of 60 HP, allowing for quick planning, exhilarating top speeds, and confident navigation in varying sea states.
Durable ORCA CSM Construction: The construction of the Flexboat SR15 LX (2023) utilizes superior materials for ultimate longevity:
- ORCA CSM Fabric: The hull tubes are crafted from durable ORCA CSM material, known for its extreme resistance to UV damage, abrasion, and harsh marine chemicals. This material drastically enhances its reliability and resistance to the elements, ensuring years of trouble-free use.
- Safety Assurance: The boat’s robust design includes three independent air chambers and a substantial 20" tube diameter, which is critical for safety and buoyancy. Even in the rare event of a tube puncture, the remaining chambers will keep the boat stable and afloat.
- Lightweight Strength: With a net weight of 452 lbs, the boat strikes a perfect balance between robust construction and manageable transportability. This makes launching and retrieval much easier than with heavier, solid-hull boats of similar capacity.
The seamless integration of the powerful engine capacity with this durable, lightweight hull makes the SR15 LX remarkably fuel-efficient, offering a fantastic range for extended adventures without frequent stops for refueling. The precise handling characteristics—a result of Flexboat’s proven hull geometry—give the captain total control and confidence in all maneuvering situations, from high-speed turns to tight docking procedures.
