495 XC

It is a versatile, solid aluminium boat with a centre console, designed for anglers, adventurers, commuters and holiday home owners. Thanks to its compact size, the boat remains easy to handle even when used alone.

The practical side doors on either side of the wide centre console, together with the tall windscreen, provide excellent wind protection for all on board. Behind the windscreen, the skipper and co-pilot sit on a wide Swing bench seat with a folding backrest, whilst the other passengers take their places on the wide rear bench. As standard, the yard supplies a 125-centimetre-wide bench seat with generous storage space, fitted with a slim Abloy lock, an insulating Smart Deck surface and a sturdy gas spring.

At the front of the steering console are integrated steps, familiar from the larger Faster models, which make it easier to board from the side. Storage space has been increased throughout: there is a very spacious compartment under the skipper’s Swing seat, a compartment in the console for personal belongings, and plenty of space for equipment under the rear seat.

The bow has been designed to maximise open space, as is customary with Faster. The hull design, which features no bilge stringers, ensures the smooth, predictable ride for which the brand is renowned, even in rough conditions, whilst the sharp bow cuts through the waves precisely yet gently. Thanks to the boat’s own mounting rails, accessories can be fitted without the need for special tools.
