BOAT REVIEW

Svfara enlisted the help of renowned tow-boat designer Rob Shirley to create the SVONE, a 20-foot-9-inch direct drive that combines muscle-car style with tournament performance. Details like elevated intake valves on the bow and a custom Dino steering wheel in the helm enhance the sports-car-like essence of the ski boat, as does the powerful 330 hp standard engine. So if you’ve always dreamed of taking your Mustang for a spin around the lake or skiing behind a classic hot rod, you should definitely take this SVONE out for a test drive on the water.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
If you know anything about boat-designer Rob Shirley, you know this boat has a lot of reputation to live up to. But even if you don’t, you’ll still appreciate this boat’s impressive performance and design attributes. For starters, it’s fast. The standard engine houses 330 horses, pushing it to a top-end speed that’s really strong. Plus, the center-mounted configuration features a shorter prop shaft that’s set at a shallow angle so the prop is more centered and forward as well. This positioning balances the weight of the boat and leads to awesome handling, with on-a-dime turns and quick responsiveness.

Behind the boat, the performance is just as consistent. Shorten the rope to 15, 22, 28 and 32, and you’ll find soft small wakes at all lengths.
