We think this yacht is simply "fantastic". What is your favorite feature? Let us know in the comments below.

[@jamesstack7827]

I think I cannot buy a boat when the boss feels required to wear a mask outside in nature. It is embarrassing. Goes against the spirit of boating. Show me the next video with no mask.

Great that it has a stabilizer but wish there was a day head top side.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

Hving hydraulics means if need more loading or stability u can extend 2 side arms both sides into water if need more weight caring or better plaining lift capacity esp if using older v hull design. By deploying side arms it gives u a tri hull type set up for speed runs then u can pull arms back in for docking. Or crane arm if u need to swing over something heavy from shore.

I think this boat and the mercury motors will revolutionize the boating industry . To have a diesel that smells makes no sense anymore . These new power plants are compact and fuel-efficient and I'm sure the price will some what change with the popularity . This is a quantum leap ...

[@Bubbles99718]

It answers the question as to why 7 marine folded. They saw these puppies coming

[@Bubbles99718]

Don't know that running 4 of these can be considered "fuel efficient ". :)

[@alexnutcasio936]

fuel-efficient at 206 gallons per hour fuel burn collectively?? That's 50 gallons an hour per engine at 66 MPH. Assuming 75% of that at slower speeds, you're still burning 150 gallons an hour.

[@gldi8hr]

I wouldn’t want anything bigger than this if I could afford❗️

[@alexnutcasio936]

@@Bubbles99718 Of course not, but even if we assume 75% fuel usage at 1/2 throttle (50% throttle ), you'd still be burning about 150 gallons per hour on that vessel. NOT bad for a 50 footer, but still $900 bucks an hour. Of course, everyone says that's nothing for a rich man, but believe me, they care. I'd have to believe that at idle, those 4 engines are collectively burning a gallon a minute.

[@Bubbles99718]

@@alexnutcasio936 yep. Crazy expensive. Back in '97 I was the 1st mate on a yacht that never went anywhere. But the owner had 5 powerboats attached to it that he would cruise Miami with. Smallest was a 40 foot Magnum, largest was a 70 Cary. 2 2200 hp mtu's with jet drives and 4500 hp Lycoming jet engine hooked up to an Arenson surface drive. Did 70 knots. It would take over 30 minutes of straight pumping to fill up any of those boats, almost an hour for the big boy. The cash burn was insane to run these monsters

[@k.estoll8593]

What is the top speed and the cruising speed? Best speed for miles per gallon?

[@AquaLifestyle]

Top Speed was 69mph/6400rpm and cruising at 3000rpm 21.5mph, 71gph 0.3mpg.

[@pan6593]

This is a really slick boat. But one major impression I get: power is no problem. So many wireless charging possibilities. Weird.

[@hildablanco1591]

A single v12 cat with a twin disc gear box and kamma surface drive gives room for a dingy storage and with a bigger bow cabin

[@RudyF6]

I was a Formula owner for 18 years. Dream boat was a pre-hardtop 400SS. I think the hardtop makes it look top heavy and out of proportion. Takes away from the long sleek lines of the former designs. Sorry, just can't make myself like it.

[@thomasdaum1927]

Well at least the water is clean there

I find it annoying that ob's are better in most every way from a stern drive. For 2 reasons: aesthetics and an open deck out back. Stern drive beats them there. OB's cost, initial and running, ease of maintenance, power to weight, running and handling improvements due to placement benefits all smoke inboards. Hard to argue the practicality benefits of OB's.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

this is close only thing I heard diff was low speed mode running hydraulic giant prop off a power unit that is in board, for under 25-29 mph slow or under heavy load work. The cat hulls r far safer & more stable & faster design. 2 make room for giant work low speed prop the boat would hve to b a bit wider or not hve nice room on each side of 4 motors. Above 25/29mph the large work prop drags too much so it tilts up out of water. Nice hving 2 diff motors in case 1 won't start u hve a spare design. Same bad fuel would b bad so the hydraulic might run on diesel instead of gas again for redundancy of fuel

[@jamesmerkel9442]

The diesel is big in board pump long hrs go to work horse & outboards r max power & speed runs on gas. Whether ever u go can fill up on something. Diesel can run on propane easy enough set up too.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

I never see longer than 811ish miles Houston to Cancun type run 1 way at speed 50-55 mph + on gas. Then u can still limp some where on work mode on propane/diesel pump, & huge work prop.
