The Dutch shipyard Elling Shipbuilding has comprehensively modernised its tried-and-tested E4 motorboat model. The new version is characterised by a redesigned wheelhouse, which is visually inspired by its larger sister model, the E6.
New exterior design
The exterior design of the E4 has been fundamentally revised and is now much more modern. One of the main features is the newly designed radar bracket, which can be lowered manually. This enables the passage of low bridges, such as those frequently encountered on French inland waterways.
Elling E4 comes with improved wheelhouse
Inside, the skipper and crew benefit from a more spacious wheelhouse. All-round visibility has been optimised thanks to an enlarged rear window, which is particularly advantageous when manoeuvring in narrow harbours.
First deliveries
The shipyard has already launched the first unit of the new E4 generation. This boat will shortly be transferred by ship to the USA and handed over to the owner there. A second unit is to be transferred to Hamburg under its own power in the summer.
