Design process of an aluminum boat

Boxercat is a boat for work and authority use. The objective of the design process was to find new ideas and functional applications for a motorboat with aluminum framework. The goal was to develop, within a specified size category, a hull type that is as spacious, supporting and steady as possible - one that could work as the base for multiple purposes of use. The movable control console, for example, enables variation in the boat's operational range. The boat is suitable for transporting both crew and freight, in addition to various work assignments. The robust build of the hull enables attaching different tools, such as hydraulic hoisting apparatus and winches, to the boat.
