SanLorenzo Adds Hybrid Capability To SL106
The SL106 has been in the model line-up of SanLorenzo for a couple years now but with more and more owners perhaps looking to do their boating a bit more greener, the company has taken this model and added hybrid capability to it.

Lets look a bit closer though at what makes the hybrid variant stand out from its conventional model sister...
