Project: Aqualum 38

Argentinan builder Aqualum presents the new 38 project. A new model set to fill the gap between the successful 35 and 43-45 models. As all Aqualum's in the range the new 38 follows the flybridge motor cruiser concept, with a Mediterranean Italian design influence. Its interior accommodation is a twin cabin single head layout, with an owners cabin with queen size berth located to fore, and a double guest cabin to port. Main deck features a split level area, with a lounging l-shaped settee upon entering and further forward offering the galley to port and helm station to starboard. The galley is unusual in this position for this size, take it as a steal from bigger boats but this works better to one situated on the lower deck. Having this layout up top I am still surprised not seeing 2 heads and a 3 cabin version! Propulsion and engines are so far not announced, although the plans show rear positioned engines with u-drive unit, and classic straight shaft propulsion.
