BRABUS

SHADOW 500 BLACK OPS

Based on the acclaimed Axopar 28, the Brabus Shadow 500 Black Ops delivers a custom boat experience.

“In the time it takes us to hand-paint just one Brabus Shadow 500 Black Ops Limited Edition ‘1 of 28,’ we could have completed construction of 30 Axopar 28s,” declares Jan-Erik Viitala from Brabus Marine.

Other touches include carbon-fiber structural reinforcement and dash trim, the intelligent steering module (ISM) with integrated trim tab, bow thruster and audio controls, and “black-ti” titaniumcoated hinges and latches. A 12-inch Garmin GPSMap 8412 is standard.

The interior boasts illuminated aluminum plates, quilted leather carpet, a large cabin mirror, an Alcantara pocketsprung mattress, and cool-gray Brabus fine leather, with red contrast stitching overhead and on bulkheads.

Available in T-top (pictured) and Cabin versions with twin 250 Mercury Pro XS outboards, it zooms to near-60 mph. Pricing starts at $289,000.
