Fifty knots, held with real composure rather than brute force alone.
Twin Mercruiser 6.2 litre V8 engines drive her to a 50 knot top speed, settling to an easy 30 knots at cruise, and the double step hull with its steep 23 degree deadrise is what makes that pace usable rather than simply available. Acceleration through the midrange has real weight behind it, the sensation from 30 knots upward closer to a sports car finding a straight than a boat building speed. Tight turns and rapid changes of direction at pace do not unsettle her, the deep V keeping the hull planted even as the water gets rougher. It is performance built to be used, not just quoted.
She reads as a gentleman’s racer the moment she comes into view.
A pronounced, purposeful bow sets the tone, with teak decking running unbroken from the windscreen to the stem and two portholes set into the topsides as a quiet, almost automotive detail. Aft, teak gangways and sunbathing surfaces soften the sporting profile without diluting it, and a stern bathing platform gives swimmers and tenders easy access to the water. The overall effect sits deliberately between vintage runabout and contemporary performance boat, a combination Frauscher has made its own across the range. At rest in a marina, she looks every bit as fast as she is.
The hull is engineered for speed first, and everything else follows from that.
A laminated fibreglass construction with isophthalic resin keeps the structure light and resistant to osmosis, while the deck uses a fibreglass sandwich with a balsa core to save weight higher up where it matters most for stability. The double step bottom and 23 degree deadrise reduce wetted surface at speed without giving up seakeeping when the water turns rough. Twin engines drive through a transmission matched to the hull’s planing characteristics. It is the kind of structural detail an owner rarely sees directly but feels in every mile at speed.
What is below deck is the genuine surprise on a boat this size.
A convertible dinette sleeps two, backed by a kitchenette and a shower equipped bathroom, enough for a proper night away rather than a token cabin fitted for appearances. Two cabins and sleeping for four in total mean the 1017 GT can comfortably extend a day on the water into a short cruise. Above deck, the cockpit is built around two substantial seats for captain and co pilot, with two further seats for guests who want to be close to the action at fifty knots. Up to eight can be aboard for the day, the layout flexible enough to suit a family outing or a fast run between anchorages.
At just under ten metres, she asks for a serious berth but rewards it with serious performance.
A 520 litre fuel tank supports a 300 nautical mile range at cruising speed, enough for genuine point to point touring rather than short hops alone. Twin Mercruiser 6.2 litre V8 engines come as standard, with a twin Volvo Penta option for owners who prefer that brand’s service network. No crew is required to run her, and the shallow 0.9 metre draught keeps a wide range of marinas and anchorages within reach. For a buyer who wants the fastest, most complete expression of the Frauscher range below the flagship models, the 1017 GT is the natural choice.
