Product features
Hybrid Trihedral hull
Both the Mahindra Odyssea 22 and 33 feature an advanced hybrid trihedral hull for a stable, smooth, spacious and fuel efficient ride. The tunnels on either side aerate the water and the resulting air pocket provides enhanced lift and aerodynamics which enable the boat to achieve its plane more easily. This increases the speed along with greater fuel efficiency. Trihedrals of this design also result in a wider hull ensuring greater stability and manoeuvrability.
