For such a small waterline the ’VT 950’ offers space and living areas not seen in a multi 5 meters longer. Open living areas and a sense of light flow through the interior design of this boat.
A galley and saloon that offers a 360 degree view, and hulls with massive width mean open plan living, instead of the usual ’stuffiness’ that comes with a boat.
The secret behind this is mainly her unusual underwater hull shape. We have managed to achieve a blend of characteristics that has not, until now, been possible to achieve in a power cat.
The VT design carries forward all the good points of the Prowler lineage...
- High bridgedeck clearance at speed
- Exceptional seaworthiness
- Soft ride in rough conditions
- Easy beaching
- Fully protected motors
But there is one big difference; this amazing boat has the ability to plane. The new underwater shape as well as opening the space in the hulls allows the boat to have enough surface are to propel it on to the plane, offering high speeds and great fuel efficiency.
In addition, she offers full privacy with easy access to hulls from inside the saloon with soft steps and no head bumping. The hulls have full headroom adding to the idea of space, two queen size berths in forward cabins with exceptional headroom and loads of locker space.
Two single bunks in the port hull takes the onboard Accommodation to 6. The cockpit is big and wide with great outdoor entertaining abilities. This flows into the saloon with a large single door, bring the out doors in.
The large comfortable saloon and galley with lofted ceiling gives an awesome feeling of space and headroom and also removes heat through the ceiling hatches.
Windows right around the saloon sides give a very airy feel and accentuate the 360-degree aspect of this boat. A small breakfast bar and stools extend the galley area aft into the cockpit.
With two steering stations you have the choice to enjoy the sunshine on the flybridge or escape the weather in the saloon. The middle window forward at the saloon steering station is a flat panel window giving great clear vision forward.
Outside we have good, safe, uncluttered side decks. The forward deck is large and flat with no trampolines. With plenty of locker storage for the toys up front.
The flybridge is a great area with the targa bar raised to offer full sitting headroom under a fold out bimini. Between the Targa legs we have added a full width seat for more comfort. Hatches into the lofted ceiling area allow drinks etc. to be handed up from the galley area.
The new hull form has the added ability to use more power to achieve more speed. While tank testing suggests we could use similar motors to the Prowler 9000 the new hull can easily run faster than the Prowler 9000, which has a max speed of 21 knots.
The VT allows for a very wide range of choice in fittings and options. You have the option to add luxury items, and then simply use the motor size to give the required performance.
The result will affect the fuel economy of the boat but this is not always a priority. 90hp Outboard motors are ideal for the lighter boats going up to 150hp for customers looking for speeds above 30 knots or who choose to load on extra weight.
Diesel motors are also an option as there is plenty of room under the cockpit floor to house them. The motors sit off centre leaving a large boarding area for easy access from the marina or a dinghy. This area will also accept the swimming ladder.
The dinghy is stored on davits aft of the cockpit seat. Construction is Pre-cut Duflex (balsa cored) flat panels and West system epoxy products. All duflex panels being pre-cut for ease of construction makes this design exceptionally quick to build.
The Prowler 950VT is designed to suit a very wide range of applications. Due to her payload and ability to handle weight, she can accommodate a luxurious fit-out or be built to a Spartan weekender.
