## Specifications
- Length: 7.8 m
- Beam: 52 cm
- Deck height: 41 cm
- Layup weights: Glass Vacuum 30 kg, Carbon 23 kg
- Usually paddled by: New paddlers

## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 7–9 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 5 out of 10.

Modelled from published beam, length and deck height. Low confidence. Speed is our rating. Both are given at the hull's own design weight.

These ratings are Surfski Index estimates, worked out from published dimensions, traced hull shapes where we have them, and reviews. They are not supplied by the maker or timed on the water. How a ski feels depends on your weight, skill, set-up and the conditions, so use them to shortlist skis and paddle one before you buy. Method: https://surfskiindex.com/how-it-works/#limits

Evidence note: This band is estimated from published dimensions. Qualitative context includes 3 linked sources.

## Paddler weight
Carbonology rates this hull for paddlers from 50 kg to 100 kg per seat.

## Suits
Taking two other people out, including children and beginners, in real conditions. Team paddling, university and club events, hire fleets.

## Hull
The Boost X double stretched to 7.8 m with a third seat, on the same 52 cm beam and a 41 cm deck. Buckets are 42 cm wide and 25 cm deep, the deepest in the range, and a wave deflector is fitted as standard. Rated for a 150-300 kg crew.

## What works
- The only production triple surfski anyone builds
- Deep 25 cm buckets and a wave deflector: genuinely built for passengers who are not paddlers
- Stability of the Boost X double at three-up

## Trade-offs
- 30 kg in glass, and 7.8 m to store and transport
- Needs three people to be worth launching
- [price omitted] for a craft most buyers will use occasionally

## Generations
- 2019-: Joined the fleet in 2019 as the SS3 Boost, based on the Boost X double. The only production three-seat surfski in this index.
