Speedboats are one of those things that every man should own, at least once in his life. The Ovation 6.8 by Ganz Boats is a great example of what’s available if you have enough small green pieces of paper and although it’s no Baby Bootlegger, it is a remarkable work of design.
Ganz Boats offer a multitude of engine options including the usual gasoline and diesel with the additional option of a hybrid engine set up. The company is based in Switzerland so you can expect the build quality to be a step beyond the usual fibreglass offerings down at the local marina.
The Ovation 6.8 has a hydraulic rear swim platform, it can be lowered to allow easy access to the water, and then raised again to improve handling and hydrodynamics. The hull is a highly developed, high-speed planing design capable of speeds in excess of 45 knots with the 400hp engine option.
Ben Branch has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, the official Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
