With its lightweight, carbon-fibre hull, and electric power from Evoy’s high-output 300+kW (400 ps) Hurricane inboard motor, the 7.77m long NERO 777 Evolution is one of the coolest-looking sub-8m sports weekenders of recent times.

Aimed, primarily, at the inland lake and waterways market, the project is the brainchild of Munich businessman and lifelong boater, Moritz Pfaller, who, together with his Italian design team, have come up with a host of unique features.

Each boat will be made to order, and a fair amount of customisation options exist, but key to the design is a carbon-fibre composite hull with corresponding reduction in displacement weight, thereby extending the cruising range possibilities from either of three different power output options offered at the start.

Underneath the water, Petestep®-technology deflectors reduce resistance by removing friction and reducing energy waste, compared with traditional fore and aft rails, and up to 35% less energy is required to propel the boat forward with the Petestep® design.

The NERO 777 Evolution’s ability to increase deck space, by lowering the rear-most sections of the hull sides, increases floor area and allows the multi-function seats / sun-pads, to be shifted and angled sideways on runners, thus creating space that otherwise would not be there.

Other features include proper width steps located either side of the centre console and windscreen, enabling safe up/down access to the foredeck from either side of the cockpit, with no more clambering over the front screen, or risk scraping a knee when doing so.

An auto-deployed anchor hidden discreetly within the vertical rise of the bow, gives a seamless and uncluttered profile to the front section, and within the cockpit there are dedicated storage areas intended specifically for your boat shoes!

Both are small, but nonetheless important and innovative details that are typical of the logic and intelligent thinking that has gone into this boat.

A well-appointed fore cabin with electric-flush toilet, makes this an occasional overnighter, but it’s during daytime use, when the smooth and torquey power delivery, and fantastic acceleration from an Evoy electric motor will truly excel.
