Metal
Shark Boats will exhibit at NAVDEX 2013, the Naval Defence & Security
Exhibition 17 - 21 February 2013 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Primarily focused
on the military, law enforcement, and commercial sectors, Metal Shark
has a wide range of existing designs, or can custom-design a boat based
a customer’s specific mission requirements.
Metal Shark 40 Fearless
Metal Shark breaks out of the world of bland and boring with its 40-foot,
twin-step Fearless. Built on the company’s heralded commercial
and military underpinnings, the 40 Fearless blurs the line between recreational
and commercial. Built to protect the men and women of the military,
the all-aluminum vessel was conceived as the next-generation standard
for border protection, port security, and drug interdiction. The 40
Fearless is also ideally-suited for civilian boaters looking to make
a break from the conventional.
“The Fearless is the next evolution of the high-quality recreational
boats originally built by our parent company, Gravois Boats,”
said Chris Allard, President, Metal Shark Boats. “The 40 Fearless
not only meets changing commercial and military needs, but is also the
perfect crossover platform for recreational buyers looking for something
more extreme than an everyday fishing boat. We wanted to offer something
truly new and unique, and the 40 Fearless is the perfect choice.”

Why
Settle for Exceptional?
The Fearless’ durable construction and wide assortment of standard
features make it ideal for any number of applications, but it’s
the boat’s twin-stepped hull, outstanding fuel efficiency, raw
horsepower, and unparalleled strength that set it apart from the rest.
Sleek, well-appointed, and built to withstand brutal offshore conditions
and near-shore runs alike, the 40-foot Fearless is built on a high-performance,
twin-stepped tunnel hull – an industry first in aluminum boats
designed for civilian use. When it’s time to get up and go, the
Fearless responds instantly to the Livorsi throttle controls by unleashing
up to 1,400 horsepower for top speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour.
Whether it’s blasting through the coves or pounding through the
offshore surf, the 40 Fearless is the picture of rugged durability.
Metal Shark designs its hulls and components utilizing advanced 3-D
rendering software which, when combined with computer-guided routers,
ensures that every Metal Shark meets the rigorous standards of even
the most demanding operators. While its fiberglass peers are shop-bound
due to damage suffered offshore, the Fearless’ welded aluminum
construction ensures its seaworthiness regardless of conditions. Built
of lightweight 5086 marine-grade aluminum alloy, the 40 Fearless also
creates a stir in the coves with its jaw-dropping lines, and is tough
enough to stand up to almost any level of abuse. Give the Fearless’
¾-inch hull a beating; it’ll thank you for the privilege
and come back begging for more. |
Redefining
the Center Console
The 40 Fearless redefines the center console set-up with its innovative
dual-console cockpit. While the pilot and co-pilot take care of business
up front, two aft passengers can relax comfortably with their own separate
console. Custom-designed to user specifications, the aft console can
be configured to house a vast array of storage options or electronics,
including navigation stations, fish finders, or even a flat-screen TV.
With integrated seating in front of the dual-station cockpit, four helm
seats, and a leaning post aft, there’s more than enough seating
space for pilot and passengers alike. Metal Shark also offers custom
bow seating configurations built to customer specifications. Added comfort
comes courtesy of the boat’s huge, cantilevered T-top, which provides
exceptional protection from the elements. A fully-enclosed berth also
keeps occupants dry in foul weather conditions, and a full head is available.
