With this new day-boat, the Danish shipyard is not making anyone jealous. The Source 22 is available with three engine options: gasoline, diesel or electric! Although Rand claims the Source to be the fastest electric boat on the market, it is with the Mercury 250hp that it should provide an attractive ride, its V-max being expected to exceed 50 knots! It is also presented as a very versatile boat, thanks to a relevant deck layout, offering remarkable comfort for a skiff of less than seven meters. Among its strengths is an exceptional surface area for UV enthusiasts, with two generously sized solariums: 170 x 160 cm forward, 200 x 140 cm aft. The two-seater helm station and saloon occupy the center of the boat, leaving wide, well-cut walkways. But what’s most surprising is the sophisticated design (concave hull sides, curved floor to match the transom) and meticulous attention to detail.
