The fuel tank has a capacity of 80 liters, and the boat runs on gasoline. The cruising speed is around 23 km/h, while the top speed is approximately 56 km/h. The engine is operational and supported by various instruments, including a fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer.
