Having a big, plate boat (mono-hull) means it usually needs a big outboard (usually at least 115hp), a double axle trailer due to the weight of it, a powerful 4WD to tow it, and every time you want go somewhere, you have to fork-out a hefty fuel bill for your car AND boat, as that huge outboard (or two) are thirsty beasts!

As you may know, planning hulls (mono-hulls) push & displace water when underway, and gain their stability by the amount of water they displace, so they need big, powerful outboards to push them over their own bow-wave and then keep them planning.

But the Trinity 600 trimaran is VERY different.

The three, long & skinny hulls are wave-slicing hulls, not planning hulls, meaning they don't push a bow wave, ever - they simply slice & part the water, and have a shallow draft. The beam of the boat, or the spread of the 3-buoyant hulls, ensures the boat's weight is supported and kept stable at all times, so instead of having one large amount of water displaced, the trimaran design needs less water dispersal and a broader beam at waterline, to achieve better stability and running efficiency than a mono-hull.

This allows the boat to be powered by a smaller outboard, as low as a 60hp - which achieved a 25knot top speed during initial sea trials!

The lighter the boat, the faster it'll go (that's common sense for all boats), and with a trimaran design, it means you can achieve similar speeds as a mono-hull, but with a much smaller outboard!! Which means all ongoing costs, including maintenance costs, are greatly reduced.

Also reduced is the tow weight overall, as the plate boat is designed to be super strong but as light as possible, requiring only a single axle trailer (if desired), meaning you don't need a powerful, thirsty 4WD to tow the boat either.
