Why Vacuum Infused Epoxy Full Carbon Makes the Speed Marine 349 Unbeatable
At Speed Marine Boats, the 349 catamaran redefines performance with its Vacuum Infused Epoxy Full Carbon hull—a construction method that sets it apart from the competition. Unlike traditional bonding techniques, this advanced process delivers unmatched strength, speed, and style. Here’s why it’s the gold standard for high-performance boating.
Traditional hand-layup fiberglass with polyester resin, common in entry-level boats, is heavier and prone to inconsistencies like resin voids, compromising durability and efficiency. Vinylester bonding offers better strength but still falls short of epoxy’s resilience and weight savings. Even wet-layup carbon fiber lacks the precision of vacuum infusion, which uses a controlled vacuum to evenly distribute epoxy resin through multi-axial carbon fiber, creating a lightweight, rock-solid hull.
The benefits are clear: this method slashes weight, enabling the 349’s blistering 120 mph top speed and razor-sharp handling in offshore conditions. The epoxy-carbon matrix provides exceptional impact resistance and fatigue strength, ensuring your boat withstands the toughest runs. Plus, the flawless finish—especially with the Full Cap option—gives the 349 a sleek, show-stopping look that screams luxury.
Speed Marine’s commitment to cutting-edge craftsmanship shines through in every 349, built to dominate the water with unmatched performance and durability. Ready to experience the difference? Configure your 349 today and join the revolution in high-performance boating.
