Hinkley 40x
Hinckley has put its long-honed expertise building epoxy-infused carbon fiber and Kevlar hulls to good use with its Sport Boat performance line. Its second model is now ready to make an appearance. The 40x (42’ 7” LOA, 12’ 5” beam), a pilothouse-style boat, follows the unveiling of the 40c at last winter’s Miami boat show. With lightweight construction and a design optimized for outboard propulsion, it reaches speeds in the upper 50s propelled by standard triple 300-hp Mercury Verados, or can push 60 mph with optional power from Mercury, Yamaha, or Seven Marine. An expansive 36-square-foot contoured windshield provides excellent visibility while a Seakeeper 3 gyrostabilizer enhances comfort offshore. hinckleysportboats.com
