With a roomy beam of 8 feet, 8 inches creating lots of deck space, she is at home whether fishing or providing family and friends with an exciting day out on the water.
“Since 1994, Twin Vee has been refining and improving its catamaran designs, and the 240 DC GFX is a boat showing off all the company has achieved,” says Twin Vee’s Frank Smith. “As a lifelong boater, I’ve witnessed numerous advancements in boat design, and this one stands out for its remarkable blend of functionality and performance.”
With over 200 square feet of deck space, the available area is well-suited for either fishing or cruising. The gunwale-to-gunwale hardtop offers shade and four rod holders. The starboard helm has a marine-grade tempered glass windshield, rocker switches, a Garmin display and a port seat. There is under-gunwale rod storage, a molded stern cooler and a large livewell with an 800-gph pump. Twin Vee offers an extensive list of standard and optional equipment including a choice of either twin Suzuki 140-hp TX or twin Suzuki 150-hp APX outboard power in white or black. A Mercury Marine engine upgrade package is also available.
“The 240 DC GFX’s hull design provides a smooth, stable ride, crucial for both navigating to fishing spots and enjoying a leisurely day on the water. It’s a fine example of engineering meeting the real-world needs of boaters,” Smith adds.
Other features include a polished three-spoke steering wheel, cushioning anti-fatigue helm pads and an optional NOCO Genius battery charger.
If you are new to the catamaran design, this boat is a great place to start. A wider footprint for superior stability, a shallow draft, more usable deck space, minimum bow rise and smaller wakes at higher speeds are just some of the advantages.
