A 7's engine, 627 hp are about $95k EACH, not installed, not tested, just shipped... Base is about $3 miilion.... Hmmm last time i looked, Swordfish, grouper, tuna area all selling for $6.99 to $9.99 lb.... That's a lot of fishing to do...Top speed, 50 mpg, just what my sister's 2005 Vespa does....

Bruh you guys use the wrong measurement system why do you say miles an hour and not knots. Knots are easier when you are on water because 1 knot is equal to 1 minute( do you guys know what a minute is not a time minute?

Yeah superfast out board machine and super fast fuel eating too, you have to have your own oil refinery 'cause that is a super heavy to your pocket everytime you use it....

I wonder when they will start to make outboards based off the modern 750hp LT5 engine instead of the 638hp older generation LSA/LS9 dating back to the 2009 ZR1.

Nah bruv, everybody knows that the size of your fishing pole is inversely proportional to the length of your center console boat. You'd need all this horsepower just to distract the honey's from your 2.5 HP Honda mini-pug.

Does a gas pump even push 148 gallons/per hour? Engines burn faster than you can put gas in????

Boating Magazine - 4 years ago

In the us, flow rate for pumps is ~10GPM...600 GPH. Boat's like this cover a lot of ocean in one hour...that's a big part of their appeal. Time is more valuable than money for many.

Awesome - I see it as a 65 foot day cruiser. With those massive engines I'd add a waterski/Parasailing pylon & winch plus a diving board (for the kids) and a storage box for snorkeling/scuba diving gear. With these this would be the perfect dream boat for me.

sdvten - 4 years ago

@NAV05 MECHENG Oh you are mechanical engineer that is why you are such an arrogant fool then. You wish you could afford a 70' Hatteras, not on a mechanical engineers crap salary. LOL. . Inboard diesels and their accessories take up a TON of room below deck. Space where the Estrella already houses the seakeeper, generator, livewells, storage, fuel tanks, pump box, etc. Where do you expect all that stuff is supposed to go to make space for an engine room to house two 16.2l engine, and support equipment? Go look at the Viking 48' convertibles, which is closest to the weight of the Estrella with less "hull friction" due to shorter length. With twin MAN V8-1200 diesels that Viking 48 tops out at speeds is the mid 30knot range at .3mpg. Not even close to the 48 knot top speed of the Estrella with 5 -627 outboards. It is comical you think two 6.7l Mercruisers with Bravo 3 drives would push the Estrella to the same speeds as the 5 - 627 outboards when two 1200hp V8-1200 MAN engines would barely get the Estrella to 40 knots with FAR bigger wheels than any bravo 3 drive can take. With almost identical fuel burn. My examples are fact that can be backed up not some on paper BS calculations some fool engineer conger-ed up in his head. I know you know nothing about cost of ownership because I doubt you even own a 12' dinghy but there is a reason large CCs have been getting so popular and why so many former Sportfish (with diesels) owners are ditching the diesel boats. They are cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain, more versatile, cheaper to operate and faster. Go away you are drunk.

NAV05 MECHENG - 4 years ago

@sdvten sorry to bust your bubble but there are some new diesels that produce plenty of horsepower and alot more torque that could power this boat and make it far more fuel efficient. And your argument against diesels doesn't have any merits to speak of. First, a diesel is a more fuel efficient engine compared to gasoline engine...also they are a much easier engine to maintain versus a gas engine. A diesel does not have plugs to fowl and wires to short , due to break down..... Second, a diesel produces more torque than a gas engine of equal cubic inches. It is capable of doing more than a comparable gas engine, that is to say that in the Marine application, spinning a larger, higher pitch prop which is more economical so in simple terms it does more work per gallon of fuel. Also a diesel has a considerable more life span, approx 25-28 years compared to a gas engine outboard of only 5-8 years. The new Mercruiser 6.7L common rail diesel can produce about 500hp and that connected to a bravo 3 Mercruiser duoprop (2 props counter rotation) stern drive would produce the same amount of thrust as 4 of those 15"-16" props on the 700-800 lb. 32 spark plugs and wires and 4 oil changes every 75 hours hang off the back of the boat after thought gas guzzlers.... I as a Mechanical Engineer am well versed in the stress that the 5 or 6 outboards place on the transoms of boats with the sudden throttle demands that most people impose upon the engines seeking the thrill of speed. So both the boat and engines are stressed decreasing their life. This boat with twin Mercruiser 6.7L diesel bravo 3 duoprops would produce the same thrust as the five outboards due to the fact that they can spin the 4 - four blade counter rotation props of a higher pitch which generate more thrust than that of the outboards ....One important point to consider is that having 5-6 outboards on the back of a boat is not going to make it go 5-6 times faster, but will help it accelerate to terminal velocity faster. (I hope I not getting to technically specific.) In this case we have friction of the hull of the boat and the friction of the 5-6 outboards so the props in this case are limited to their ability to push the boat due to all the friction variables. So in the case of the Four blade duoprop sterndrives (8 blades each sterndrive) they have less friction than that of the 5-6 outboards yet produce close to the equivalent of 4 of the outboards due also to only having one lower drive housing in the water which also is a decrease in friction........Finally the twin Mercruiser duoprop sterndrives on the back of the boat would allow the stern of the boat to have a swim/dive platform on the stern and allowing the boat further utility purposes...... Back to the point that diesels would be a great replacement and benefit to the boat. The twin diesels would most likely be lighter than that of the 5-6 700-800lb each outboards. Another point of fact is that it is the torque that does the work of the push of the propellers and the horsepower is what rotates them. Without torque the props could not push against the resistance of the water, so the props would not be able to spin ,in theory ..... So it is more important to develop lots of torque than horsepower. One rule is you can have speed and no power or power and no speed, a simple mechanical law, think of a farm tractor, it is slow but can pull a bottom out of a mud hole as the saying goes. That is why we have developed gearing or transmissions to help with the problem but does not negate the problem. So the diesels can most certainly produce more thrust than a bank of heavy outboards because the lighter diesels do more work with the same amount of fuel. And the diesels would not decrease the useable space on a 65 center console if they are installed low in the stern of the boat, they can be mounted approximately 8"-10" in from the hull so that there might only be a 10" step up at the stern of the boat extending only 3'-4'ft from the stern forward and depending on the construction of the boat hull depth, it may be able to be concealed completely within and no deck variation in heights and then the possible fact that the boat could have improved speed and economy and also decrease the maintenance on the engines, only two engines to maintain instead of five or six oil changes and 40-48 spark plugs and wires to cause problems and breakdowns. So I submit that your case against diesels is null and void. It holds no merit. One final point. Diesel fuel is far less volatile than gasoline meaning that diesel is less flammable that gas, so it is approx 10 times safer than gasoline . There have been many many boat fires and explosions due to gas tank leaks and then fumes ignition; so you can risk your life on a gas powered boat but I am going to stick to my diesel 70' ft. Hatteras Motor Yacht. Even my tender is a diesel water jet. .......Fair winds and following seas to all.................

mike force - 5 years ago

@sdvten you are stupid, be quiet.

sdvten - 5 years ago

If you want it to go slower, be heavier, have more draft, and have far less interior space then yeah put inboard diesels in it. There are plenty of sportfish boats being made already if you want a slow heavy expensive pig of a boat that doesn't even get .27mpg with those diesels.

David Naismith - 5 years ago

You don't have to be rich to afford a boat like this. You have to be stupid rich. The advertised fuel burn on a 7 engine that size is 55 GPH at WOT. Times 5 comes out to around $1000 an hour. The boat costs $3,000,000. There are only a small group of people that would buy one. If you are well enough off to buy one, you would probably buy a new one. That would make it very difficult to move on the used market. Put a couple of thousand hours on it and most people would be afraid of having to repower it at about $400,000 plus labor. Just a toy for the 1%ers. Not that I wouldn't love to have one.

@One Piece Trap Remix why do you even need that much horsepower though, the boat has a max speed

One Piece Trap Remix - 4 years ago

Because an inboard can’t deliver the 3,135 horsepower, without having like 16 cylinders or so

alamos8 - 5 years ago

All Center Console type boats use outboards because they free space and allow to have a lower deck level. And that combines with an all-round waist-high solid wall from the bow to the stern. I like this deck configuration, which adds an high level of security when walking around

Ok your passion may be hookers but mine is being with my family, traveling the world, and of course, fishing. Of course if you didn’t grow up fishing/boating and never got into it, than ya pass. This happens to be perfect size for my family, big and powerful enough to do everything we want our boat to do. The best part, this boat is way cheaper than our other options in the class and had compromise. This boat on top of the great use of space, price, beauty, is also faster than any other of its class or range. So ya, I won’t pass, I am indeed gonna buy this boat of have unforgettable memories for years to come. Oh yea, I’ll pass on the hookers, coke, and alcohol. I have my beautiful wife for sex, my amazing children for entertainment, and a big fast boat that has me high on life. My life is just better than your now that I think about it. I’m happily married. Your miserably knee deep in hookers. I have beautiful kids, you have cocaine and alcohol. You are POOR, I AM RICH. I don’t have to win the lottery for this beauty. I have a savings account for that. Also because my heroin, cocaine, speed, and alcohol days were in my 14-22s, and up until now has been working my fingers to the bone, getting my first million before 27, and now being able to retire with more money than my family will ever need before I’m 55. Good thing I have kids that need school paid for in the future and parents whole would like new beautiful houses in there dream retirement destination. :) Sorry lazy people who think wasting there life getting high piss me off. I used to be that. I was broke, DOING ALL THE DRUGS, ADDICTED TO HEROIN & SPEED FOR 3 YEARS, AND depressed, insecure, living at moms, and a virgin. JUST LIKE YOU. NOW I HAVE A FUCKING YACHT. I FUCKING LOVE LIFE.

Alex1911 - 4 years ago

Skyler Teno no that’s only on displacement hulls and has nothing to do with the ships beam (width), the top speed is limited by length. But on hulls that plane this is not a factor since they lift out of the water and the bow wave won’t limit the speed like on a displacement hull. For recreation power boats displacement hulls are practically non existent, it’s mainly in commercial vessels and sail yachts.

5k + to fill up
50 miles out in 1 hour or less and 50 miles back in in less than an hour means your there first and leave last in that size and class of boat.
If fishing was about cost or saving money people could just buy fresh fish you could buy alot of fish or fishing time with the millions spent on just the boat and fuel cost, not even considering the dockage, upkeep, repair, fishing accoutrements etc.

Loser Squad HD 123 - 4 years ago

Okay no, just no, its actually quite impressive considering that with no gas, no fluids of any kind for that matter, no people, and no engines, the thing weighs in at around 51,500 or more pounds. Plus the 65 feet worth of a hull that is 16 feet wide, AAAAANNNDDDD, its a V shape, not a flat surface, that is a lot of surface area that is contacting water. Car tires which are only 225 to 245 mm wide on average which is under 10 inches wide and is round so there isn't that much actually touching the ground at any given moment times 4 creates friction and drag that slows the car down, not even talking about aerodynamics of the car or the boat because unless we are talking about a bus that is flat faced, the boat is way less aerodynamic that 95% of modern cars are. So basically there is a ton of friction between the massive hull and water which actually creates more friction loss than that of tires and the tarmac, so 3000 horsepower isn't a lot once you realize just how much it has to overcome.

Everett Cox - 5 years ago

@sdvten Yes John Cosker's design is stamped all over that hull and when I didn't see steps on the Estrella I knew they weren't going for a lot of speed. The Mystic would be my choice with turbines and an electric harbor drive to save fuel and noise during docking.

sdvten - 5 years ago

@Everett Cox The SL700 is a stepped hull and bottom shape which is designed specifically to enhance top speed. The Estrella uses a traditional non stepped old school deep vee center console hull design. The arneson surface drives on the mystic help quite a bit too.

Dencil Dean - 5 years ago

It,s heavy

Everett Cox - 5 years ago

@Anthony Fano Well look at the SL700 with twin 1800hp diesels. It runs 70mph. That's 15mph faster than the Estrella at the same weight with only 500hp more. How Mystic accomplishes that magical feat idk but I think the main reason is hull design.

Anthony Fano - 5 years ago

Everett Cox
Not necessarily, diesels would just make it more powerful and probably slower

Everett Cox - 5 years ago

@Anthony Fano The boat weighs 65,000lbs fully loaded that's why it has a top speed of only 55mph with 5x627hp. It would be much faster with twin 2400hp diesels.

Everett Cox - 5 years ago

@Commander Russels This is the very similar Mystic SL700EC with specs. Afaik Mystic does not offer outboards on any of its V bottom boats beyond 40ft. As you can see the dry weights are very close and the Mystic is likely to weigh around 65,000lbs with the largest 2400HP MTU diesels it offers, the top speed of which is estimated to be around 90mph, a much better result than the outboard boat with less fuel consumption in the bargain. The boat pictured here is fitted with Cat 1800s which runs around 70mph;

NAV05 MECHENG - 5 years ago

@BA S Sir, sorry you missed the launch of the Seven Marine outboards currently they produce two models, a 557 HP and a 627 HP version. They are using a CHEVY Corvette engine if I am not mistaking on my facts. Both engines are gas guzzling monsters. I have a 70'ft Hatteras Motor Yacht with twin Mtu 16v2000 m70 @3004 HP each these engines are probably the best engines in the Marine arena and I used to be a Caterpillar fan but now love the German built MTU's... anyway I can cruise at 14-16 kts and not consume as much as these outboards do, they are powerful but are gas guzzlers to be sure. They come from Corvettes so just ask the Chevy Corvette drivers if they get great gas mileage when they have a lead foot. Fair winds and Following Seas to All.

According to their website that boat is 65,000lbs wet, which explains the slow top end, but also tells me they made a pigfat boat. It's a big ship yes but at probably 55,000lbs+ dry it's going to get horrible economy and drive like the huge tub that it is. Their 53 is known to be a fat turd also. Weight is good in rough water, but this is too much weight.

@NAV05 MECHENG I would just like to respectfully thank you for providing us with a very informed and experienced opinion on this boat. For most of us, vessels in this price range are purely the stuff of dreams - heck, even being able to afford to fuel this would be a dream for me!
I would have to agree that this vessel doesn't seem to do anything well and for the price tag, it doesn't seem well thought out. I agree that reliable marine diesels would provide much more versatility, range, fuel economy and longevity than over-priced gasoline outboards. I know for a fact I can build 600hp american V8 engines for less than 10% of what one of these outboards bills out at.
I wish you fair winds and following seas... relief from your ailments and many enjoyable years spent with your family.

NAV05 MECHENG - 5 years ago

@John Crowley oh you could take that to the bank.......as a retired mechanical engineer I could shoot more holes in that 65 cc than you could even imagine. But I just made the point that those 5 mistakes hanging off the stern of this boat could be replaced with a couple of stern drives coupled to diesels , which would improve it's fuel consumption greatly. Also open the stern for a swim/dive platform, and when the 5 props are gone and replaced by 4 on two shafts (duoprops) or 2 props on shafts thereby making the fishing better. I was in no way trying to make fun of any one at any time but some seem to get nasty about being told that the facts are not the way they are perceived to be . As for buying the 65 center console, I would buy one, but not this one and only if I was 40 years younger. At 73 I am passed my prime and an auto accident where I was rear ended; has me with spine damage; causing severe pain. So I could not even think about bouncing around in a boat. In March 2017 I went to Hatteras and decided to go into a 70' Motor Yacht. I got rid of a 58' SeaRay with diesel Inboards, my first boat with diesels, and I was amazed at how much my fuel costs decreased from my previous boat that was a BERTRAM 46' with dual Mercruiser 454ci 380 HP a great fishing machine, we did a great amount of fishing with FOLLOW ME III , and before that, a 31' PENN YANN with again, Mercruiser Stern drives connected to twin 350ci 250hp Chevy small blocks... Both of them consumed copious amounts of gas. Even back in the days of the cheap gas my fuel bill at the end of the day on both of those boats averaged $70 -$100. Today that bill would be more than $500. That even to a millionaire is just rediculous, considering the fact that the run time on the engines was less than 9 hrs. I at the time of the 31' PENN YANN was on a Navy Income of a small and insignificant amount, if the gas prices were like today (2019) back in the 70's, I could not even leave the marina, or break out the paddles.....On the 31' I did have a auxillary out board of just 15 hp for emergency use, thankfully the Mercruisers were nearly perfect and never left the boat stranded, one time I had a badly clogged fuel filter on the port engine and it would only idle due to the fuel l got at the old side of the marina where the pumps did not have filters on them. I and others made them either stop using them or put double filters like the rest of the pumps on the new side of the marina....... I believe that I have enough experience with gas engines, (my opinion) to say that since getting the 70' Hatteras with MTU's, I have fallen in love with them. They are flawless, 16 cylinder smooth and powerful. (MTU 16V2000 m70 3004 HP each)..... I customized the boat a little and specifically asked for the engines to turn those large diameter 8 blade props . And I actually burn less fuel(diesel) than those 5 hang on engine's. At 10-14 knots I burn about 75 GPH, I know some will say your not going 55 MPH, and yeah I realize that he is going faster than me but I have a 185,000 lb. boat give or take 6000lb. for fuel, people, grocery items clothing and other belongings of passengers brought aboard at times of trips and cruising. Also I have not seen anything in relation to the weight of those after though engines, don't they weigh about 700 lbs. Each, so most likely the manufacturer of the boat has specified a weight restriction on the stern of that boat and if by chance those engines are under the restrictions then you have to look at things like fatigue and stress. Being a mechanical engineer I could go in-depth analysis but it is not for me to say but, chances are that the stern of the boat will develop stress fractures in the hull; probably where they won't be visible, until it is to late for the nuckel head that likes to show off and is addicted to speed, what little there is considering it has 3135hp.with more than 3400 lbs. of after thought. you have to consider that when slamming that throttle forward fast you are putting the stern of the boat under a good amount of stress, All that just to spin 5 12"-14" props. when with a duoprop stern drive you can spin two four blade counter-rotating 16" 18"-24" pitch props. There have been tests done on the duoprops vs the single and the duoprops won everything they needed to win to prove the system out performs the singles So as others have said this boat as equipped is "the most useless boat they have seen" and my son wants a boat of his own for fishing when he turns 20 in a year and a half and unless this boat is equipped with a couple of diesels with shaft or stern drives it will not be this machine I will continue to research the center consoles and hopefully find a solid boat offered with either stern drives or Inboards with vee drive shafts that will also allow a hydraulic swim platform installation... John I hope you understand my point about this boat, I was interested in a boat for my son, specifically a good solid fishing machine, but I don't want to become a supplier of fuel, like I probably would for this boat. Once he is out of college and hopefully got a decent job, I want to be able to put fuel in my boat and let him put fuel in his; Fair right ? I also know that others say it is for each person to decide if it is right for them but they should have all the facts. I have talked to several owners of center console boats asking about the brand of their boat and some have said they like it very much and others keep bringing up the Mako boats and Boston Whaler.. I know about Whalers not to much about the Mako brand, point being that everyone has his own opinion on everything but sometimes they don't have all the correct info and so people are not making a good choice, I was just trying to enlighten some to the facts about how much better a diesel is vs a gas engine in the Marine environment for safety and economical operation just to name a few things of importance........

NAV05 MECHENG - 5 years ago

@shane marz what is the answer Shane? Admit it that this 65ft open center console is only good for short trips or you have to get the boat mfg company to customize it with all kind of tops to stay out of the sun for 8-10 hours a day fishing and as the others have commented it is not good for much else due to engines and props when dual Mercruiser duo prop connected to V8 diesels would get all of those hang on the stern engine's off of there and then you could save fuel and could have a hydraulic swim platform , then it would be able to be used for more than a fuel guzzler Grow up boys, going fast is not the only thing to do on the water, with the proper engines and hydraulic swim platform it could also be used as a dive platform, scuba and snorkeling just to name a few better uses of a poorly designed boat ... Or perhaps they we're thinking of going to the drug running boats with all that storage. They would be considered the poor man's drug boat, because I have heard that the real go-fast drug boats cost in excess of 6 million and they use the ciggarett brand boats that have about 8000 HP top fuel drag engines-burning race fuel my 70' Hatteras may not go as fast but I'll get to the same place and stay longer than this boat ever could, even in bad weather so I beat them on fishing and staying longer and recreation as well as I have a swim platform admit it......,. the center console outboard just doesn't have any redeeming qualities to speak of.

NAV05 MECHENG - 5 years ago

Can you get the boat with a couple of real engine's ? For example... A great pair of Catapillar C-18's so you can get rid of that 40 spark plug and the 5 times the chances of something going to go wrong and also drink fuel like a water fall.with a great amount of weight, hanging off the stern ..The boat,with twin Mercruiser stern drives with duoprop,, powered by cat or Mercruiser V8 diesels would be safer and less costly every time you take her out cruising or fishing..Of course she most likely will not be as fast, with any where from 1200 to 1800 hp, but just like on Terra Firma we don't have to go like a bat out of hell all the time, I had a wonderful 31ft Penn Yann in Maine years ago with twin V8 250hp Mercruiser stern drives even before the duoprops came in to being and they both spun bigger diameter/pitch props than what the "hang on the back of the boat" engine's could and the engine's also used parts that were common to the small block chevy, since they were Chevy 350's so water pumps,, alternators etc etc were readly available and inexpensive compared with the equivalent part for the hang on.. so I believe that the boat is better off with Mercruiser stern drives, diesels or gas, for safety and economic reasons, because the temptation to always slam the throttles to full bore with the guzzling 5 engine's whenever you can, is just too great... So, the diesels would be safer and more economical, all the way around, and if you take in consideration that the twin V8 diesels or gas stern drives, are likely to not be as heavy as the 5 hang on engine's are, there might not be a large disparity in speed, given the opportunity to have the twin counter-rotating Mercruisers to have a greater pitch to make the four props earn their metal......but needing to keep in mind, not to cause cavatation .. So I believe that I have laid out a very good case for offering the boat with Inboards or Stern Drives. Of course I have glossed over the concept but it is one I throughly believe in because of my experience with hang on' s and stern drives (Merc's-Omc's). Oh final thought.. a British company now builds a diesel version of the "After thought-hang on's that will bring some safety and economical aspects into the picture, Might not be a bad idea to set up a 65' with 3 diesel hang on's.. I am sure you can get in touch with them. ..Cox Marine is the company that will add a great option for those who want a diesel but can only get an "out-board engine...

@A Shore would like to hear from you sir.... How are your fishing trips going, hope your getting some of those great blues in Narragansett bay..... I am doing much better health wise and getting over the now, not needed mind numbing meds so able to enjoy a few more days on the water, so I thought of home and the bay and how much nicer it is compared to these already uncomfortable Florida days . Even on the water it is getting into the hot humid weather, and am using the AC on the boat more often than not. I hope the weather there has been great for some good fishing. Wishing you and yours fair winds and following seas and very happy angling.

NAV05 MECHENG - 5 years ago

@A Shore well I have not been in Maine where we had the Penn Yann for quite awhile . When I left MAINE in 70 and went to Quonset point RI , we used the Penn in Narragansett Bay for a few years. Then some bastard Politicians decided to shut down the base in '73-'74 .. I had to sell the Penn as it was going to be cost prohibitive to drag to Whidbey Island WA. It wasn't until I got back to the Right coast that I looked into getting another boat, that was around '89 I made a couple of calls to Maine to see about a 40' to 45' Penn I got bits and pieces about Penn being sold due to owner dying and new owners running it into near bankruptcy, because they we're cutting corners or some bullsh*t .. anyway the Marina where I had bought first Penn was no longer selling them for the reason you stated. They told me they had cut corners under the new owners of Penn that they were not able to stand up due to all the complaints from owners, reports of hull cracks and leaks ...I dropped the Idea of Penn Yann like a hot potato.. I have to admit I was very sad to hear of such a great boat going to shi*t.. Well how about this MARVELOUS coincidence.. The GREAT STATE OF RHODE ISLAND IS MY HOME ALSO. Now am retired in Florida, and it is a pure hell hole.. Originally only planned to be here till I retired from Navy but I lost my first wife (a Canadian) in '90... Retired 6 years short of my target 30 yrs. for full 100 % had to settle for 75%... Anyway remarried a Florida girl and am paying the price. I will be 73 in October. Hope to leave here in the next few years. Miss R.I terribly. Went to U. R.I. in '65-'68 joined Navy there and was at Quonset Point NAS for a couple of months and then was Assigned to a squadron at Brunswick NAS till ' '70 Returned to Quonset Point till just before closing Then resigned to Whidbey Island WA and in '87 came back to NAS Cecil Field FL. now it is closed.as well due to the same politicians who axed Quonset... Hope Narragansett bay is well . Am hoping to be able to get my Hatteras 70' MY up there . Hate Florida Waters and land, always to hot or raining or friggin hurricanes and all kinds of weather that is so unpredictable.. several of the other boaters I have spoken to all say that south Florida is better for boats but I have couple of kids in college here so they are now draining my retirements so badly that I could not put more than $1500 of fuel into the boat every 3-4 months so it does not go too far away from the docks. Just on weeks when they come home for a couple of days we go out off shore 20-25 miles to fish and let them swim then we head for a small bay we have found with a couple of other boats to overnight...for a few then back to the dock, that is to short for her so we put her bow in and let her platform stick out. It is for a 65' and she is 70' the marina wanted to have her anchored along the inlet but those boats are constantly in trouble due to others running over there anchor chains and even hitting some of the boats . I hope that some of the longer slips at the marina will open up so we can get one. I usually like to spend some time cleaning her up after the overnights ,because the kids are slobs . I do make them clean up on the way back to the docks and don't let them leave until she is good and clean but you know kids I am sure, you have some of your own , they need to be picked up after, but I am getting to old to do it .... Is the Narragansett bay just as beautiful as it was back in the '70's On the Penn we used to get in on the blue fish runs and catch 5-6 good size ones and put them in the freezer for supper all thru the summer. We also used to catch cod and flounder just outside of the bay on the Quonset side close to the bridge . Well I think I have talked my head off for now. It is supposed to be good for me medically , because the medicine I take messes up my short term memory and they would like to check me for Alzheimer's so I will fight that one if I have to. Oh the name of my boat is "LORRAINE" after my dear mother . If you don't mind me asking what is the name of your boat. Fair winds and Following Seas.

A Shore - 5 years ago

@NAV05 MECHENG well defended my friend, well defended. TBH i don't know too much about their fiberglass years, but do know they had major financial troubles and many will say it was the design of the boats that did them in, probably from an aesthetic point of view. I never cared for the look, and they aren't sold in RI were i live so never been in one. you are an engineer, so i'm sure you took much better care of your motors than most! amazing to see how people haven't a clue about proper maintenance.

NAV05 MECHENG - 5 years ago

@A Shore hey how did you know that the twin V8 Mercruisers we're so reliable, they ran for over 850 hours without a problem other than lube and oil and oh yes a couple of belts and as for the Penn Yann she was as solid as the rock of Gibraltar standing up to those north Atlantic white caps .. what I really liked about Penn Yann was that in comparison to any other boat of equal length their beam was 2 ft wider all the way up to 50ft.. Also they had taken some lessons from Boston Whalers in foam board and more strakes in the hull. I wish I had kept it. It was an absolutely solid boat even after standing up to North Atlantic pissy weather Also I think that what made them so strong was that they sandwich the longitudinal and beam stiffeners with a second layer of fiberglass to ensure extra rigidity and strength to those already solid hulls and she had good high sides for wave displacement ( am a mechanical engineer not a marine expert) but even in chop at anchor, bottom fishing , never got wet due to low sides like others I looked at... Before buying the Penn Yann, we must have look at 40-50 other boats and I can tell you beyond any doubt they shined as the tuffest boats in there class. I would have bought a Boston Whaler if they made a boat in the configuration of the Penn, but they were still a little confused I think about what direction Whalers we're going to go. But had they had and enclosed bow like the Penn I would have definitely bought one and also they did not offer anything with dual Mercruiser stern drives with 350 ci 250hp so I could put those 4 blade 24 pitch steel props to good use...... only one time did I have just one engine give me trouble and that was a fuel filter get so clogged up it did not let the engine rev above idle but that was my fault for not getting the fuel at the proper pumps at the marina. I made them install all new filters on all their pumps due to that problem . Always save your fuel receipt at the marina where you get your fuel . We caught so much tuna and mackerel and cod and flounder and other great eating fish with the Penn, I think it more than payed for the boat 2 times over I wish I could say that about my new 70' Hatteras, can't seem to even catch enough to pay for the fuel, just going 60 miles out.. beginning to think that they are too fished out due to commercial ships Damn I do miss the good ole days they we're simpler and more fun. FAIR WIND & GREAT SEAS TO ALL

@NAV05 MECHENG oh yea those mercruisers are so reliable lol. anyone who buys a penn yan should stay in the finger lakes were reliability isn't an issue. unless you get a Swift... now those were beautiful.

As for my own opinion, I can't see why you would be an outboard powered motor for serious fishing. The transom space is vital and it's all taken up by outboards.

They will both be money a "money pit". Check the sales tax in your area #1, When a older boat has been maintained well then you are basically looking at a new boat. I am sure you will find something wrong with a 1990 but it has proven to have worked. Never buy a new boat unless its a run about. That my take and I have maintained boats.

@stop censoring me A boat isn't like a car where you can just fuel up as you please. Just because you can afford to fill the boat doesn't mean there is fuel available to put in it.

@NAV05 MECHENG Only problem is you lose space with inboard motors but i guess you could just make the boat a few feet longer? But i do agree diesel much more economical reliable and safer...But really if you could afford this boat you could probably afford the high fuel cost and rebuilds every few years but i think most of the likely sort of buyers would rarely get them out of the marina.

NAV05 MECHENG - 5 years ago

Robin......Doug is absolutely positively right.. diesels would bring two very very important cures to the stupid setup hanging off the back of the boat, the outboard engine was a stupid Idea for boats above 12 ft. #1. Diesel fuel is far less explosive than gas and there have been several instances of fire and explosion aboard gas powered boats....#2. the diesel engines bring economical operation to the boat,, why do you think Yachts use diesels. Diesels are more fuel efficient than a comparable gas engine.. also the diesel engine produces nearly double the torque of a gas engine, also a diesel engine has double the life span as compared to gas in the Marine application of the engine's Now we have diesels with 3500hp, V16 no spark plugs and good for 10 years with only regular oil changes just like a gas engine..Are you starting to get the picture. DIESELS are the way to go for any boat... Now we have small diesel outboards for rowboats all the way up to 300hp diesels for center console and sports boats that out-perform the gas engines....if ever there was an example of stupity this is it ,,this boat with a inboard dual diesels could go further and just as fast without 5 hang on the back mistakes and be safer all around!!!!!!!!!! In focus yet.? If you cannot understand the mechanical aspects,, I am sorry; I tried to Keep It Simple , I basically glossed over the entire concept of the benefits of the Diesels in Marine use.

Erik Baldwin - 4 years ago

NAV05 MECHENG first of all, the Verado doesn’t use spark plug wires(neither does the 7Marine) it’s coil on plug. If your mechanic is selling you plug wires for your Welfare motor...
Second, the plugs are iridium, impervious to the effects of breathing salty air.
You obviously know nothing about modern outboards so you should probably stfu. However I don’t disagree that a pair of MTUs would be a better choice for a boat like this.

Everett Cox - 5 years ago

@NAV05 MECHENG Yeah duoprops are awesome but idk of any stern drive mfgs that offer them strong enough to stand up to a big diesel. Jet drives yes KaMeWa and Rolls Royce are two jet drive mfgs I know of that build their jets for ratings up to 3500hp for the Superyachts up to the Gigayachts.

NAV05 MECHENG - 5 years ago

@shane marz thanks Shane , I only was trying to make the point that this boat as others have also said needs diesel Inboards or Stern Drives with duoprops because they offer more thrust with the same power and what good is it to have 620 HP connected to a prop the diameter of a basketball. Spin the hell out of the prop all it is going to do is cavitate (make air under water) I would love to test the same boat with Inboards or Stern Drives against the outboards. I think a setup could be achieved with either Inboards or Stern Drives against the outboards to either meet or beat the performance of the outboards . I have seen it done in other boats especially with the duoprops on the stern drives they are fantastic now that they have 8 blades with a pretty good pitch, they are delivering a tremendous amount of thrust any way it was one point I wanted to make for my case so it was crystal clear about what is now possible thanks again Fair winds and Following Seas

NAV05 MECHENG - 5 years ago

@Robin Drljacha I have to ask you does your asshole ever get jealous of all the shiet that comes out of your mouth ???? because it is very plentiful !!!!!!!!.. all those spark plugs don't fowl? And wires don't breakdown? Your full of shiet A friend has Mercury 350 Verados and they are twice as reliable as those 7 marine engines and he says that Mercury recommends that for optumum performance in salt water you should replace plugs and wires every year, so you would have us believe that your plugs and wires are impervious to the effects of salt water then you are a Russian radio (always spouting shiet) and since that those 7's are still babies compared to other outboard engine mfg company's I guess your in for a big rude awakening. I don't trust any outboard to take me 65-80 miles off shore and know it is going to get me and my boat back to the dock... Yet my beautiful big dual mtu 16v4000 m70 3004 HP each will take us around the world with only a oil change... Outboard engines are #1. Only for boats up to 14-15 ft. #2. Are unreliable at best. I guess that is why if the boat is powered by outboards, they try to hang as many as possible on the stern. #3. Outboards are not economical due to the fact that they cannot develop torque like a conventionally powered boat --- there is the other reason for needing so many. #4. And final point for now. People think that the more you have the faster you will go--- another myth fabricated by the outboard Manufacturers when all that is needed is to have enough torque to spin multiple blade props (like Duoprops) of large diameter just fast enough to generate the speed required and no it is not like a bat out of hell for all but race boats and they are pretty much unreliable and unstable above 100mph. So Robin I really don't want to make you a Target but you have got some of it wrong . Diesels are the best engines for boats due to the lower volatile fuel, higher torque output, longer life and lastly their ruggedness. There is a company called Cox Marine making diesel outboards if you just gotta have one for your outboard boat look into them Probably better than those 7's for econ and life and maint (no plugs and wires) just change oil every once and awhile Fair winds and Following Seas .

Sorry my wife just read my comments and told me I am really loosing my mind "our" Hatteras is 70ft,.I guess that I keep thinking that she is 65ft because my dock slip is for 65ft boat. I am taking a chance on letting the 5 ft or so stick out because I am using the slip against marina MGMT recommendations so I nose her in and let the platform stick out so if it gets hit it will damage their hull and not mine, best big boat yet Hatteras is another well made boat Am waiting for longer slip !! Am hoping I am not loosing my mind to fast I would like to enjoy this boat for at least 6- 7 more years.

@Alan S A 747 hauls over 350 people at 550 mph That gives it 6.5 gallons to the mile fro.0185 gallons per passenger mile. This POS gets 148GPH at 55mph, that is 2.7 gallons per mile if you have 6 passenger that is 0.45 miles per passenger mile or the 747 is 25 times as efficient as this POS boat

Eh, it's only 4 gallons to the mile... Lessee, that's about 16 bucks a mile. 20 miles to the gulf from my dock, so that's ummm... $320 to get to the gulf and $320 to get back, so a trip to the gulf and back is $640. Nice. Does it run on Kool-Aide?

@Juan Pablo a 747 BURNS 3,600 GALLONS OF FUEL AN HOUR.... SO ITS MORE LIKE COMPARING A LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT TO A TWIN PROP CESNA... ITS STILL A CENTER CONSOLE BOAT, NOT A YACHT.
