UK firm unveils new 17m interceptor series

Four Mercury Verado V12 engines, each with a rated output of 600 hp (450 kW), enable the vessel to achieve a top speed in excess of 50 knots, a cruising speed of 35 knots, and a range of 650 nautical miles whilst providing improved handling and stability.

Other enhancements include shock mitigation seating and a modular ergonomic console design. The MST Group said the latter will allow for frequent equipment upgrades throughout the craft's lifetime.
