Options to improve on-board comfort
The Emili 5.90 is an open hull with a center console whose seating is limited to lockers, both forward and aft. For the purpose of a boating program, seat cushions will be essential to sail comfortably or to enjoy a mooring and relax. The side and rear cushions are priced at 640 euros for the skai version and 1080 euros for the Sunbrella-Silvertex version.
Similarly, the sunbathing cushions in the front are also optional. The first version is 770 euros, the second, better quality at 980 euros. An optional sun canopy will also protect you from the rays in summer. This one is at 1230 euros.
Other options allow you to customize your boat, such as different hydraulic steering, fender brackets and console storage.
An affordable rate for beginners
With a 2022 price tag of 20,980 euros including tax, the Emili 5.90 stands out from the competition because of its accessibility. It will be necessary to add the price of the engine and the trailer if one wishes to transport it.
Bateau-Direct, the importer of the Ermplast brand in France, also sells other entry-level models of this style. For comparison, the Poseidon R590, with an equivalent length, is offered at 26,444 euros TTC, also with many options in the catalog.
We could also compare the model to established brands such as Pacific Craft or Quicksilver whose boats of equivalent size, slightly more equipped, with a 100 horsepower engine are offered around 30,000 euros TTC. The Emili 5.90 remains well positioned for the access to this type of boat.
At Jeanneau, the Leader 5.5 CC, with a shorter length of 5.48 m, offers the same facilities. With a 100 horsepower Yamaha outboard engine, it is sold for 31,990 euros TTC.
Adding the price of the engine, the Emili 5.90 is in line with the offers of the big players in the market.
