The accurate study about weight distribution, and correct location of center of gravity, joint to dynamic
behavior simulations, adding the gathered experience on the prototype, have been necessary to make
a rib that overcomes normal requirements for a customer demanding an "entry level rib".
The stiffness of the costruction, using biaxial glass and large thickness, exceed what is required by
CE regulations. Due to its thickness, toughness and smooth ride, Giganti 550 is unbreakable even for
a "heavy throttle" driver.
The deck layout provides a stern area with 2 big platforms, flat area around the engine (only 1 cable
passage centered), stern wide seat, helm seat with multi-position inox mechanism for the backrest (3 main
positions , front stand up drive, seating, and towards stern, plus more intermediate position as preferred),
center-left wide and protective consolle , full deck, with 2+ m sunbed lenght, 3 lockers in the bow deck.
With 5 front seats during navigation, and big lockers, a gasoline 60L tank, 40 L water with shower, the
Giganti 550 could be a valid rib for mid range cruising and nauticamping.
Giganti 550 can be powered by outboards from 40 up to 115 hp, for speed over 40 knots,but even with
a 40 hp it has good performance (30+ knots) and a strong acceleration.
Unsinkable, self bailing. Of course.
