[DJMikeFury]

that electronic setup on the dashboard is embarrassing

[SailorJeep]

How much fuel did the boat suck up with engines that have a life span of 5 years at $17,000 a pop? 48 feet with outboards???...Twin diesels call it a day for 25-30 years

[IRONSEAN7]

wow,, did that say 42mph? thats awsome for a 48 footer with outboards,,, even if its 4 of em

Regarding the GPS, yeah its quite ridiculous. The owner spent a shitloads on the boat and the engines, but wanted to buy a cheapie GPS, portable generator which was "marinized" and a home split aircon unit :-S

Overall, we are very happy with the boat.

Cheers

Here in Indonesia, outboards are the trend. initial cost is cheaper than inboards or sterndrives, maintenance is easier, fuel is cheap, and there are heaps of plastic bags floating on the water, so if you get your props caught with rubbish, all you need to do is trim the engines up, take out the rubbish from the props, and throw the rubbish in the rubbish bin which you have in your boat of course (not back in the water!).

Wow... Thanks for comments guys...

After some fine-tuning with engine trim, we achieved a top speed of 43.7 knots. Not too bad for a 50' overall length flybridge cruiser I guess.

Fuel consumption is a worry. About 100L per engine at WOT. But cruising is way less and we achieve 30+ at cruising speed. BTW, fuel is only 50 cents per liter here.

@cyberlex72 its not that loud actually... you can clearly hear the guy speaking without shouting... And I LOVE that noise

[Luethys]

Such big engines and that ridiculous GPS system... saving money on the wrong place?

[Redneckbakkie]

Um, why not run a diesel inboard on that big of a boat?

[zedextreme8177]

Better acceleration and redundancy, you have 3 to fail before you're doomed.

[wipenoutx]

@Redneckbakkie Waste of space, not as fast, slower acceleration, more maintenance.

[mooringproduct]

looks like 42 MPH on the GPS.

[cyberlex72]

I don't like the noise

[Frickie96]

how fast were you going ?

[zicer01]

Awesome. I'm guessing this is wot. What is the fuel consumption per engine and for all 4 engines?

[maifgif]

How many knots will it do?
