It hasn't been a very long time since Swedish company Candela announced its C-8 electric hydrofoil boat, but the company is clearly forging forward with evolving its layouts and offerings, which is precisely why it has now launched a new and improved version of the C-8 with the impressive addition of a central console.
The aptly-named 'Candela C-8 Center Console' aims to cater to the growing demand for central consoles by placing a dual-set unit right in the middle.
Ultimately, the big appeal of the 'Candela C-8 Center Console' is the fact that it offers the hydrodynamic drag reduction, 106-km range and eco-friendly features of a modern hydrofoil boat with the console design of fossil fuel boats, making it ideal for everything from fishing trips to casual cruises.
