The versatile all-rounder Silver Fox BR was fully renewed in 2018. The aluminum hull is manufactured utilizing the unique Silver framework; the hull sides are formed by sealed, triangular box-like aluminum frames, which are densely filled with non-absorbent polyurethane foam. The hull’s specific reinforcing beams and transverse profiles, together with the hull side frames, make Fox BR torsionally rigid, more silent due to less hull-borne structural noise and extremely safe to use. Because of the polyurethane filling in the hull sides the boat is practically unsinkable. The high freeboard efficiently prevents sea sprays from entering the boat and at the same time makes it safe to move around in the boat.
Thanks to the renewed hull design, the interior of the Fox BR feels more spacious than its predecessor model, even though the external dimensions have remained basically the same. This more spacious interior has enabled us to fit the boat's bow with two large storage compartments/seats and also the stern bench has grown in size. In relation to its relatively compact size the boat still has plenty of space to move around. The bow has a useful walkway in the middle, which facilitates embarking.
The side storage compartments in the bow swallow huge amounts of packing and naturally they also function as extra seating. Fox BR has been equipped with a dual console solution, and in-between the consoles we have installed a fixed two-part door. This Bow Rider layout is one of the most popular on the market, largely because of the sheltering cockpit and the comfort provided for both driver, co-driver and passengers in the stern.
The driver and the co-driver travel in comfort, each in a fully-padded Offshore seat. The construction of the stern bench is smart, and fully new for the Silver Fox models. The wide stern bench is possible to open fully, including back rest and arm rests, revealing a vast storage space, where even the stern canopy has its own designated storage compartment. More storage space can be found in the bow and in the steering consoles.
The boat’s standard accessory set includes e.g. a modern, user-friendly and practical 9-inch Raymarine Axiom chartplotter/echo sounder (as of YM2021 a 9" Axiom+ screen), which helps you navigate the seas. The Raymarine Axiom display also seamlessly communicates with your outboard engine, informing you of all the necessary motor data. The display has been installed onto the instrument panel so that it is in the driver’s field of vision, but without masking visibility forward.
Thanks to the unique AluFibre TM construction the new Silver Fox BR is a durable, stylish and above all an easy-maintainable and manageable aluminum boat that maintains its value longer than many other comparative boats. The sheltered bow rider layout makes Fox BR the perfect companion for boaters who want a versatile all-rounder for not only family outings and leisure rides, but out of which you can also fish. Fox BR is designed especially for calm coastal waters and lakes, where waves are modest.
Note. The equipment of the boat may differ from the equipment shown in the video. See standard equipment and accessories below.
