Damsko 750 - 7,50 m

The Damsko 750 from Lekker Boats is original in many ways! First of all because it combines the power and durability of Australian speedboats with the design of the mythical Dutch "sloep". Designed in the Netherlands, its classic design is deceptive since it is able to accommodate 25 people on board, but especially to reach a top speed of 42 knots!

Its design is distinctive with a pronounced V-shaped hull at the front that flattens out towards the back. A construction that should allow it to easily pass the waves.
