Flipper 700 DC

In production 2019–present Designed by Espen Thorup

The Flipper 700 DC is a 7.17-metre glassfibre day cruiser with a bow cabin, rated for seven persons under CE design category C. It takes a single Mercury outboard of 225 or 300 hp in the current range. It was introduced for the 2019 model year as a development of the Flipper 670 DC.

The 700 DC uses Flipper's Speedhull, a variable-deadrise V hull built with a vacuum-infused double-frame structure. It is 7.17 m long and 2.48 m wide, draws 0.75 m and weighs 1,300 kg without engine. Fuel capacity is 188 litres, with an optional 48-litre fresh water system.

The cockpit has two co-pilot seats and L-shaped seating around a table, with teak flooring as standard. A canopy is stowed beneath the aft bench. Below the foredeck is a double berth with a wash basin; an optional marine toilet with septic tank can be fitted. The builder lists the berths as 2 + 2, the second pair being the converted aft seating. Options include a bow thruster, heater, drawer refrigerator, gas cooker and Simrad Glass Bridge navigation display.

The current range offers a Mercury F225 V6 DTS and a Mercury V300 V8 DTS, both with Mercury Active Trim. In 2019 the price list also included a Mercury F150, an F200 V6 and a V250 V8, a range of 135–300 hp. Flipper's test report with the V300 records 50.5 knots at 5,980 rpm. Yachting News recorded 41.1 knots at 5,800 rpm with a 225 hp outboard, and boatsales.com.au about 40 knots with the same engine size.

The model replaced the 670 DC for the 2019 season; Kipparilehti described the difference from the 670 DC as chiefly the separate swim platform extensions. The boat was built by Bella-Veneet in Finland until production moved to Cremo Boats' facility in Poland. A facelift of the 700 DC with revised styling and updates to current CE requirements was announced in September 2026 for the 2027 model year.

In the 2026 range the 700 DC sits between the 650 DC and the 800 DC.
