My friend was kind enough to send me some clips of his boat so I can host it on my channel. This is a 460 Quicksilver cabin cruiser with 4 cylinder Mercury 50hp 4 stroke EFI. I drove it only once but it was a fun ride. The platform is very roomy and it feels like a much bigger boat. It is also fast- 28 knots top speed. There are many upsides- roomy deck, maneuverability, speed and storage space. Only downside that I witnessed is a shallow V hull -good for calm waters and high speeds, but the ride is uncomfortable at mild waves. It also has the tendency to drift if turned too hard at high speeds, for someone that is an upside, and for others a downside. All in all, a very good boat and fun to drive. The engine is quiet and has only 1 downside- it has no tilt speed regulation so it takes very long to tilt it up and down. Another interesting thing is that the steering resistance is set at minimum- it is very easy to turn the wheel( it was too easy for me the first time so I steered too hard :-) ). At 450 kg+120 kg engine weight this boat consumes about 9 liters per hour( if I remember correctly) so the fuel economy is also a plus. I would recommend this boat as a family boat and sports fishing boat. Cabin can be a place to sleep for 2 people. Enjoy the vid
i had that boat then i sold it and then i buyed my seafox 2007 and its with a 150hp 4 stroke beacuse i didn't like it
