A compact hull with an assertive design
At 5.55 meters long and 2.40 meters wide, the H19CC is positioned in the compact open family class. But the first impression on the pontoon is that of a boat larger than it appears. The step hull, a Ranieri trademark, exudes a dynamic, sporty feel.
This design improves water flow ventilation and reduces the wetted surface at high speeds. The result: rapid lift-off, smoother passage through chop and optimized fuel consumption. On the water line, the well-marked strakes and pronounced V at the front herald healthy, stable behavior.
Construction is in reinforced polyester, with a constant focus on rigidity and lightness. The deck layout, molded in a single piece, bears witness to the Calabrian shipyard's expertise. The finish is clean, the joints neat, and the stratification of high quality, in line with the standards of much more expensive boats.
A center console for smooth traffic flow
The H19CC adopts a classic center console layout, ideal for this size. Circulation is easy on both sides, and the side decks, though compact, are still large enough to move around safely, even when underway. Numerous stainless steel handrails encircle the boat, from the bow pulpits to the console, reinforcing the feeling of safety, especially for children or novice passengers.
The console is simple yet well-proportioned. The slightly sloping Plexiglas windscreen provides effective protection for the rider, while the steering wheel and throttle are easy to reach. The cockpit's typically Mediterranean ergonomics invite you to ride standing up or leaning on your buttocks. The two well-crafted individual swivel seats offer good support, with a backrest that folds down to convert the leaning-post into a double seat.
Honda's clear, modern instrumentation is limited to the essentials: tachometer, trim and speed indicators, PR70 multifunction display, and accessible battery switch. On the port side, a few switches control the navigation lights and automatic bilge pump. In this way, the cockpit retains its functional spirit, without visual overload.
The aft cockpit: a versatile technical area
At the stern, the cockpit offers great depth, secured by generous freeboards. This uncluttered, robust space is the heart of the boat's use, whether as a fishing station, relaxation area or access platform to the sea. The rear bench seat incorporates a large storage compartment for batteries and circuit breaker. Access is simple and the interior finish, though rough, is clean and neat. A stainless-steel bathing ladder, fixed to the starboard platform, makes it easy to climb back aboard, complemented by an optional freshwater shower.
The generously dimensioned transom effortlessly accommodates up to 115 hp. Equipment mountings (rod holders, wash pump, water ski kit) are provided at the design stage, making subsequent installation much easier.
The foredeck: between sunbathing and conviviality
The bow of the H19CC is undoubtedly its finest achievement. Thanks to the low height of the console and the boat's width, the shipyard was able to create a large sundeck occupying the entire bow.
The thick, snug-fitting cushioning rests on a set of lockers offering surprising storage capacity for this size of hull. Removing the cushions reveals several molded hatches housing mooring gear, life jackets and safety equipment. The optional electric windlass fits perfectly into the anchor locker, without cluttering up the deck.
This front area can easily be transformed into a dining area, thanks to a small removable table that fits onto a central foot. Once folded away, the area can be used as a sunbathing area or observation deck, well protected by the handrails and front balcony.
Italian finishing down to the last detail
It is undoubtedly in the field of finish that the H19CC surprises most. For an entry-level model, assembly quality is remarkable. Joints are precise, hoods well fitted, upholstery tight and resistant.
Ranieri brings his handcrafted touch to the table: clean seams, polished stainless steel, quality hinges and consistent gelcoat. Even the floor, with its anti-slip treatment, offers good grip without assaulting bare feet.
The colors offered retain the sobriety typical of the 4XC range, with light hues and pearl-gray upholstery contrasting with the black console inserts. The overall design retains a discreet, typically Italian elegance, but without ostentation.
