New Model: Absolute 48 Coupe

It's been a while since Absolute made a sport cruiser, and  now the Italian boat builder returns in the segment with the fully enclosed but very open when desired 48 Coupe.  While in the last decade Absolute has been all about its flybridge motor yachts between fifteen to twenty meters, the first decade was all about its sport cruisers especially the first generation 41 and 45 models, which scored sale successes even in the very closed British market.  The Absolute 48 Coupe shares hull with the 47 Fly model with the same lower deck layout of three double cabins, with the master room located forward and looking to starboard.  The main deck of the Absolute 48 Coupe is an astern galley layout, with an open stern just as the new 60 Fly which makes the aft deck become an infinity lounge when desired.  But the tricks of the Absolute 48 Coupe do not stop in the infinity aft deck, and continue with the large electric openable windows on the main deck, and the solar panels on the hard top which generate 2 kw of power.  The Absolute 48 Coupe is powered by twin Volvo 480hp with IPS pod drives.
