INTERIOR
Cruising
The Sea Sonic Centaur's generous interior offers captain and passengers
the utmost in comfort, practicality and elegance. The dashboard is well
thought out as the positioning of the gauges and controls makes handling
easy and exciting. The comfortable seats (for up to 6 people) are made
from top of the line materials that are carefully upholstered to be
great looking and able to resist wear and wet conditions. And, for those
who like to soak up the sun, there is a convenient sunning pad. The
combination of seating and sunning pad increases capacity to 8 people.
Entertaining
Entertaining guests is just as pleasurable as cruising. A wet-bar, sink
and refrigerator will ensure they are always refreshed while humming
along to the tunes emanating from the high-end stereo system, a standard
item on all Sea Sonic boats.
Relaxing
The below-deck V berth offers a retreat from the sun. This is where you
will also find a storage space and built-ins for supplies and personal
items. A glass deck-hatch allows air and light to enter.
Water access
Swimmers and water skiers will appreciate having easy access in and out
of the water in the form of a stepped transom with chrome handrails.
Also, a convenient hot/cold freshwater shower is located in the stern
above the swim platform that is particularly nice after a saltwater
swim. For drying off and tanning, a large padded sunbathing area is
located on the aft deck. |
PERFORMANCE &
SPECIFICATIONS
|
The twin V8 454
cubic inch MerCruiser engine offers outstanding power and
exceptional speed. The Sea Sonic Centaur can also be powered
with two 496 HO cubic inch MerCruisers to reach a top speed of
65 Mph. The Centaur uses an electric fuel injection system that
ensures optimal fuel mixture and the placement and positioning
of the drive train creates the most comfortable ride possible. |

The Hull
Solid mahogany is used throughout, including the keel, chine, sheer
line, ribs and stringers. A multi layered mahogany marine plywood is
attached to the outside of this strong internal frame and, to add
additional strength to the hull and transom, a sheet of Kevlar is
embedded between the two layers of plywood. The result is a strong,
watertight, twist-free hull which, when compared to fiberglass hulls,
offers 35% more strength and rigidity.
The Deck
Traditional wooden boats are built using solid wood planks that tend to
shrink and expand. This creates open joints and cracks which causes
leaks and damage to the finish. Planked wooden boats also require
ongoing maintenance and refinishing. This does not apply to Sea Sonic
Centaur due to the improved technical advances in modern boat building.
Using precise Swiss craftsmanship throughout, Canadian maple is
artistically inlaid on the fore and aft deck and is complimented with
shining chrome hardware appointments that are both practical and
stylish.
The Finish
The inflexibility of construction of the Sea Sonic Centaur allows for a
very hard finish to be applied. Fourteen coats of epoxy and four coats
of a polyurethane containing UV protection are applied. The natural
beauty of the wood shines through with its deep shine and transparency.
This tough, durable exterior guarantees a watertight weather and
saltwater resistant finish that is near maintenance free. |
