More space all around
A cockpit redesign of the popular Blue Ice 38 V powerboat has made the space more comfortable and more versatile. The seatbacks of the stern-facing sofa and chaise longue – located behind the helm station – are now equipped with sunshades, and when the cockpit’s six-person dining table retracts toward the deck, the seating area converts into a sun pad. Blue Ice, which is a brand of Italy’s Sea Engineering Group, has also raised the below-deck ceiling, adding more headroom to the two bedrooms and the bathroom. The 38 V’s two 300 hp Volvo Penta engines enable a top speed of 40 knots. The boat is priced at around US$324,000 (RM1.32 million).
