Cavileer 43 Convertible

Unique prop tunnels allow the Cavileer 43 Convertible to operate in waters too shallow for most sportfishers. Draft is three feet, approximately 10 inches less than it would be with a standard hull design. Cavileer says other benefits of utilizing the tunnels include less cavitation and increased prop efficiency, with higher cruising speeds and better handling in turns, along with more lift and less vibration so the stern doesn’t dig in as much. Located in the tunnels, the struts and rudders are also better protected from potential damage. Below deck, two staterooms, two heads, a galley and salon keep passengers comfortable.
