Like the luxury vehicles of the road, class and performance can be achieved on the water on the speedboat scale. The Frauscher Boats 717 GT is a prime example of the luxury speedboat, with a hull and heartbeat that means business– and a top end interior as refined as they come. The power in this poweryacht comes from a gasoline, diesel or hybrid engine pushing 184 – 309 kW of muscle as the 717 GT glides across the open water. That motor is centralized within the boat, with a shaft propulsion system, unlike the typical speeders with bulky (and ugly) engines hanging from the above-water rear side. While the Frauscher 717 GT may have missed our luxury yachts feature, we couldn’t help but give this one its own time in the limelight. [frauscher boats via yatzer] View in gallery View in gallery
