In terms of concept, the new Tempest 750 Sport comes between the 750 Luxe and the 750 Work. Its deck layout is more versatile, better accessorized than that of the Work and less sophisticated than that of the Luxe, yet closer to the latter. Like the Work, it features a T-top and a bow sundeck. On the other hand, it doesn’t offer the same user-friendly saloon, making do with a single bench seat and a retractable picnic table. Nor does it feature an electric windlass, making do with “manual” anchoring. It does, however, have a comparable two-seater helm station, with a high windshield guaranteeing good protection for outings in rough seas. Getting around on board is fairly easy, thanks to fairly wide side decks and a fold-down rear seatback for easy access to the bathing platform with hand shower. The seat, once raised, frees up a deep storage hold. The fittings include three stainless steel bollards for mooring both bow and stern. Two engine options: 225 or 250 hp.
