Press release

The fourth fiberglass Silver will be unveiled at the Helsinki boat show in February 2020

The novelty, Viper will be third Day Cruiser in the Silver Z-range placing between the 6 meters long Tiger and the 8 meters long Raptor.

The boat is well finished and has encompassing range of standard equipment.  As all of the fiberglass Silvers so is the Viper’s look Scandinavian stylish and the materials user friendly and easy to maintain. 

SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN AND HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS

The Silver Z-range is a collaboration of Nordic know-how with design from Norwegian agency Eker Design AS, hull with Swedish Petestep® technology and the craftsmanship from Finnish Silver boats. 

The 6,72 meters long novelty Viper has the same patented Petestep hull from earlier Z-range models. The hull has four deflectors that channel the water mass to flow down and back creating a lift for the boat. The hull is designed using unique Swedish Petestep® technology, which makes the boat ride higher in the water than with a normal V-shaped hull. The boat flows smoothly and quietly almost as above the water. This reduces water splashes into the boat. The WPC composite teak used on the boat is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional teak. WPC teak is made from recycled teak and doesn’t require sanding or scrubbing the surface, which makes it easy to uphold. Regular wash is all you need to do to maintain the composite teak’s beautiful look. 

WELL THOUGHT DETAILS

The sleek windscreen that continues along the sides gives substantial shelter from airflow for the whole cockpit. To make the driving even more convenient the boat has a hydraulic steering, 9˝ chart plotter, windscreen wipers and trim tabs as standard. All the gauge, switches and chart plotter are located well in the driver’s eyesight without blocking the visibility.

A foldable step in the bow makes getting to shore easy. There is also a place for bow thruster and spotlight. The spotlight makes boating in the dark safe and easy.

GOOD USE OF SPACE

Viper is designed for spending time together. Spacious sofa and table in stern fit up to six people. The table doubles with cushions as a sunbed. Stern canopy transforms the back of the boat into a second sleeping berth.

The spacious bow cabin is equipped with an electric water toilet and the stern with a drawer fridge. Pantry on the port side has place for gas stove and washbasin. All the storage compartments in the open deck are lockable. 

For water sports Viper has a water ski tow bar and ample swim platforms.
