Introducing Australia’s fastest production GRP powerboat in this size range, the fabulous F40 , produced by Fastlane Marine Boats on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia to international standards of  performance, easy and relaxed in turns at full speed, sleepy soft in rough water, the F40 contradicts conventional wisdom. It seems that an exceptional fast boat can also deliver maximized stability, guaranteed safety, fingertip control, and comfort stem to stern.

To drive the F40 is an unforgettable, totally addictive experience. Once you’ve felt the surge of massive power from the twin 496 MAG HO Mercruiser sterndrives thrusting through super tough Bravo One X sterndrive legs to 21” cleaver props, every other boat you’ve ever driven will pale by comparison.

In its “standard” performance mode, it would easily run the magic mile a minute, and that’s with base level, stock standard twin Mercruiser 496 MAG ‘s. Now, if you really feel the urge to get up and go, the Fastlane Marine Boats factory is able to install even higher horsepower motors in twin or triple installations, and will incorporate Mercruiser drives to suit specific, race-winning requirements.

But for most people, the mile a minute formula is more than sufficient to provide the thrill, the excitement and the adrenaline pumping pizzazz to make every trip in the F40 a memorable experience.

Of course, there is much more to the F40 than sheer performance – but somehow, nothing else seems to matter!

But for those who need to know, it is also a beautifully appointed, graciously styled high performance craft of a calibre unlike any other in Australia. With internal styling by Andrew Svaldenis (Director), the F40 features an island double in the forepeak, and two big lounges in the saloon. Unusually, there is full 6’ foot  headroom below, plus a self-contained galley and private toilet and shower compartment. Indeed, the F40 can be set up as a very comfortable weekend cruiser for two or more people.

The cockpit featured a magnificent driver’s console able to seat two (drop-down, race-style bolster seats), port side companion seat, a 12 volt ‘frig and an aft sunlounge just made for stretching out in the Gold Coast sunshine, or any other place’s sunshine, for that matter. Tables were built-in to both sides and were cleverly concealed when not in used. It all adds up to ensure the F40 will remain Australia’s most exciting sports cruiser for some time to come.
