There appears to be a major arms race going on with the big multi engine go fast crowd. I like the fact that they are a lot quieter than the go fast boats of 20 years ago. https://youtu.be/qv-GPdnJ-1E I'm sure you are right that they'll sell, even at $75,000 a pop. I'll bet the fuel burn is...interesting. === The people who buy them don't worry about fuel burn. Probably better the the QE II. That ship gets 6 inches per gallon I read. These motors seem to drink about 50 GPH WOT (6300-6400) and more like 20 at a 4000-4500 cruise. https://boattest.com/article/new-mer...00-hp-outboard The boats they talk about usually have 600-800 gallon tanks so that gives them a few hundred mile range and a $2000+ fill up. How bad do you want to get there? Years ago, I guy I knew casually, neighbor of a friend, was telling about filling up his dad’s boat. Pulled in to the marina and decided to go get a beer while the attendant was filling. Said, after he came back the fuel gauge had barely moved. Found out the boat had enough tankage to go from San Francisco to Hawaii. |
