MTM Powersports, an affiliate of Al Masaood Group, has announced the launch of the C-Eagle 220x jet boat, the second generation of its flagship Sportboat models. Authorized by SEA-Doo, the C-Eagle model is the first high quality jet boat manufactured in the Middle East, delivering an unparalleled boating experience with its empowering technology, enviable performance and audacious design. Following the regional success of the C-Eagle's 1st generation in 2015, this year's generation has been perfected with advancements featuring a substantial focus on the luxury aspect, high quality materials, and innovative technology.
To ensure maximum excitement, the C-Eagle 220x jet boat features the same high quality hull, equipped with the proven twin Rotex 4-Tec 250 horsepower supercharged engines. Controlled by an electric throttle with a closed loop heat exchanger cooling system, the engines provide ease of handling and smoothness with speeds up to 65 miles per hour (105 km/h). Unlike a conventional prop engine, which pushes water out in a dispersed pattern, Rotax Jet Power concentrates on thrust. An onboard impeller pulls water in and forces it out from a single point for maximum power.
Designed in collaboration with leading marine specialists and built in the UAE, the boat features sleek, stunning lines with eye-catching graphics, and matching interior accents with premium Italian-made stainless hardware and high quality flooring materials from the USA. The C-Eagle 220x boasts a 22-feet spacious interior with a seating capacity of up to 11 passengers and a carefully laid out cockpit to provide plenty of room to move around, with a nicely styled, comfort ride interior spring seating, with premium upholstery delivering a smooth ride.
In addition to the head-turning style, the 2016 C-Eagle 220x features the Medallion Viper II control center with a 12-inch touch screen placing the most commonly used controls and information on the top surface, providing the driver with full control over the boat for an unmatched navigation experience. A single touch has replaced what might take several touches and page changes on other systems, to access full engine monitoring, cruise control, ski mode, docking mode and access to all of the accessories in the boat. The screen uses the same technology designed for premium automobiles and is clearly visible in direct sunlight. The Viper II is also equipped with GPS integrated world maps, Bluetooth and two USB ports for connecting cellphones and/or music devices.
The jet boat comes with a variety of comfort-conscious features as standard. Just to name a few, an extended swim platform with two stainless steel re-boarding ladders, multiple storage units, aerial tower, aerial freerode wakeboard tower, a shower with 70-litre water tank, lighting, and a marine windshield. It is also equipped with a 1,800 watt integrated stereo system with six speakers, sub-woofers, and amplifiers. The C-Eagle starts at AED269,000.
"As one of the Middle East's industry leaders, we're committed to providing our customers across the region with a memorable and second-to-none high-adrenaline watersport experience," said Bassem Wazafi, Commercial Manager, MTM Powersports. "We're extremely excited to unveil the C-Eagle 220x as the first jet boat manufactured in the Middle East, setting new standards with luxurious features that position it at the forefront of its class."
