This yacht is truly turn-key. Just came back from the Bahamas and ready to head off again. Click Here to learn more … Argos Yacht Build Review: Problem: manning your flybridge helm requires a raincoat, Exxon executives know your first name and the boys at the club call you “the buoy”. Solution: Design a semi-displacement hull teetering on semi-planning. The Argos hull delivers very flat running angles throughout the speed curve from 7 knots to 27 knots (and higher). She cuts like a knife in head seas, diffuses the impact of quartering seas on the sides of her bow, rolls minimally in beam seas, stays stead without wallowing in cornering seas, and keeps a straight course in a following sea (again, without wallowing). Efficient hull = less engines = less fuel = more money in your pocket! Smaller engines result in savings on the overall cost of the boat, longer range, a quieter boat and a more accessible and comfortable engine room. A boat that runs properly, saves you money and keeps you dry, what a novel idea. Bonus: This special hull design delivers true displacement type economy at 8 knots, economical slow cruising at 14 knots, and a high cruise (75% of load) at 23 + knots. Prove it? The 92 tested at a near 1:1 mile to gallon ratio at 8kts giving her Trans-Atlantic range! The 65 and 80 models can be configured with smaller engines and still deliver an 18kt top end or with a standard engine package to get you a consistent 23kt cruise!

Problem: The old and stinky E/R. Most engine rooms have painted bilges and perforated aluminum sheets covering up all sorts of wires and pipes. The fiberglass is painted but uneven leaving tons of spaces for grime to accumulate. It’s done this way because it’s quick and easy. The drawback is that soon after delivery the paint yellows from the heat and stains from soot and grime. The aluminum also looks worn and it’s almost impossible to clean the areas behind it. Eventually you are forced to repaint the engine room, but it’s never quite the same. We all just accept that “it looks like a 5 year old boat” Solution: Instead of covering up the problem, Argos faires, paints and polishes the bilges, walls and ceilings so that you can easily wipe them and keep her looking good! Countless man hours go into this process, but the result is a smooth finish that looks as good as the exterior of the yacht. Without a place for grime to hide, odors don’t linger for long and your checkbook doesn’t have to come out. This is the heart of your yacht, treat it like you would your own and you’ll enjoy boating so much more. By the way, this amazing faired and polished look is standard from stern to the bow on the 80’+ models and up to the engine room on the other models!!! Attractive, rugged and useful; just like the good looking fellas at Lucid. Problem: Raw water engine strainers impossible...
