Kingfisher minicat triumphs in swamp test

Our minicat range have sealed buoyancy in the hulls and polystyrene filled side decks. This 370 model had the bungs removed and water didn’t even cover the upside of the wingdeck when it settled.

Water had to be pumped in until the boat was completely drowned as shown in photo. As a bonus, the outboard stayed dry!

Swamp test - With the bungs out, boat settled at this point. Water had to be added to make it sink further

Swamp test - Pumped full of water but still afloat

    Excellent to see great positive buoyancy as a standard safety feature built into the Kingfisher Minicats.
