GT40 Coupé or GT40 Open – that is the question.
The GT40 Open offers easy access to the bow, a central helm position and convenient access to the helm seats from both sides.
Both the GT40 coupe and Open, provide fantastic social spaces, perfect for enjoying life on the water with family and friends.
Now, all you need to decide is: outboard or inboard engines?
