Launched in 2009, Cabo 36 Express comes into the 2011 season with a new engine propulsion set up featuring ZF famous pod drives unit. This will result in the 36 Express having easier marina handling, better mileage to the liter, and also better performance. Power for the new set up will be from twin Cat engines delivering 460hp each. So far the Cabo design team did renovate or modify the interior and cockpit plans with this new engine propulsion set up. That means that the lower deck is still the same layout plan sleeping five in a three berths plus two coming from the convertible C-shaped saloon. The 36 Express is the second Cabo to receive the pod treatment after a standard shaft propulsion set up, having the US builder also added this option on the 40 Express.
