Project: Airon Marine 4500 T-Top

Airon Marine from Lake Come in Italy, presents the project of the new 4500 T-Top, what I imagine to be a replacement model of the successful 4300 T-Top, first of the hard top series from the North Italian builder.  So far Airon has provided this exterior rendering which features a very family feeling to the other bigger or smaller boats of the Lake Como builder, with a lot of similarities to the latest launch, the 4800 T-Top flagship.  A standard internal plan of three cabins, which sleeps six below is being offered.  But an option of two large cabins sleeping four is also available.  Various different plans are also available to what concerns the main deck as is in the end the tradition from Airon Marine, who have a very custom approach in this size, but also in its builds above the 345.  Power choice available is from twin Volvo 400 or 435hp in IPS pods or stern drive choice.  But even here I will imagine more engine options and shafts to be available.
