Palm Beach enter its GT series into a new era, as it presents the GT60 with Jetdrive. The Jetdrive version is to be available even on the smaller GT50. With the GT60 Jetdrive, Palm Beach enters into Hinckley territory from a certain point of view, although it is fair to say the GT series is a bit a cross-over styled sporty yacht with hull lines of a down Easter, and a modern more adventurous super structure. In respect to the standard IPS version the GT60 Jetdrive offers little differences, the hull is a bit longer on the chines but a bit shorter in the centreline for the jets, and with the no running gear to the bottom a thirty centimetres draft. The first GT60 Jetdrive unit is a very customisable boat, painted in a dark near black grey it featured an un-edited open stern layout, with a mezzanine looking aft, but also a no patio door main deck. The Palm Beach GT60 Jetdrive is powered by twin Volvo 1000hp with Hamilton water jets and achieved up to 43 knots top speed, with a 35 cruise, which would make it a three knots faster boat to the IPS version.
