Chianti 515


Chianti 515 Specifications Boat Test

The Chianti 515 is a delight that goes far beyond obvious good looks, immensely strong construction, and positive floatation. It is designed as a Kiwi boat with American glitz and Italian performance. A hybrid of design that is unique.

The Chianti's performance is outstanding, an EFI 115hp motor delivers 50mph+ performance. A soft ride in the rough and all round sports car handling. This boat has no vices at all! The roomy cabin is ideal for the kids or for shelter on the day the weather turns nasty. You may even chose to have an afternoon nap on one of the comfortable bunks. The cockpit is cleverly designed for those out fishing or for the family cruising or skiing.

The 515 is small enough for a person to launch and retrieve by themselves yet big enough to handle the very rough stuff and carry four to six people in safety and comfort.

The Chianti is genuinely fun to drive and so very forgiving. The coamings provide the shelter and protection you and your family deserve. The perfect vehicle for your watersport leisure.
