With technologically advanced hull, roomy cockpit and a cabin, Arba 500 develops maximum speed of 20 knots with the most powerful outboard and, at the same time, provides acceptable comfort for shorter summer cruises. Although the manufacturer declares maximum power of 40 HP, due to a very good navigability, engines with half of that power would be quite adequate…
Considering that this is, after all, just a five-meter boat, thus realistic is not to expect better interior comfort than basic. The cabin has overnighting accommodation for two with a V-berth and optional filler cushions. Her standing headroom enables forming a cozy sitting space after moving central part of the berth. A tinted four windows allow a flood of natural light - and two opening portholes lets in outside air - giving the Arba´s cabin an open and breezy feel.
The cockpit has good seating room for four or five, featuring two longitudinal benches with lockers (skipper´s seat is optional), while the boarding ladders are situated on the port swim platform. For more comfort the optional equipment includes: stainless steel canopy, filler cushions, outboard bracket, windscreen, steering wheel with mechanism, pedestal seat, anchor roller and bollard on integrated bow pulpit, overhead cabin light and trailer.
