The Terhi 450 TC stands out through safety, practicality and exceptionally robust construction — a virtually unsinkable, remarkably quiet twin-console hull offering an unusually versatile package.

From the jury’s statement:
Safety and low running costs matter most for a beginners’ boat, and the Terhi 450 TC delivers both. Its ABS sandwich construction with polyurethane foam between the hulls makes it exceptionally rigid and virtually unsinkable, while the twin-console layout shields the crew from wind and spray far better than a typical open boat this size. Stable handling and high freeboards add reassurance for less experienced drivers. With a maximum 40 hp outboard, fuel consumption and maintenance stay modest, pointing to a yard built around dependable, service-minded boats.
