Hull

The deck is made of steel.


Interior

The interior is like most other boats made of teak. Teak has the advantage of being naturally very oily and therefore water-repellent, which is suitable on boats.
The boat is equipped with 8 berths, a galley, 250.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility.

Note: the boat has also been sold to be self-made/-interiored, which means that the quality of each boat may vary.


Keel

Unknown keel type

Succes Super can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.00 - 1.10 meter (3.28 - 3.58 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.


Engine

The boat may be equipped with an inboard Peugeot diesel engine at 75 hp (55 kW). Max speed is 8.0 knots.

The fuel tank, which is made of steel, has a capacity of 250.0 liters (66 US gallons, 54 imperial gallons).

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Succes Super is about 197 kg/cm, alternatively 1104 lbs/inch.

Powerboat?

In Denmark, you are required to have achieved a 'powerboat driving license' in order to sail a powerboat.
In this context a boat is considered a powerboat if:

Equation for Danish definition of a powerboat
Danish definition of a powerboat
According to this definition this boat is not categorized as a Powerboat.
Though, if you install a motor of 93 kW (124 hp), then the boat will become a powerboat, and you will need a Danish 'powerboat driving license'
