600hp on a 32ft motorboat!?? 🤣 100hp would provide more than enough grunt! Boat looks too top heavy/has too much windage and accommodation is cramped. Someone will buy one though.
@@eltsennestle998 I have a 41ft sailing yacht which weighs in fully laden at 13.5 tonnes. It’s has just one 40hp Diesel engine that propels it at hull speed, around 9kts. Sailors aren’t in such a hurry, but I’ve been been on a 38ft speedboat in Thailand that banged along at 33kts for an hour and a half (man that was uncomfortable!). It had single 150hp engine.
@@eltsennestle998 🤣 Fishermen don’t need 600hp engines!! There are thousands of fishing boats with sensible engines. This is all about showing off and impatience!! The engine manufacturer’s also love it as they get to sell 5 times as many engines! I doubt there’s more than a few knots difference in performance between say 200hp and 600hp - the hull size is the constraint. With such tremendous weight on the transom, this little boat will need considerable ballasting in its bow to prevent it becoming very unstable. Due to the short length of the hull, the slightest of seas would dictate throttling back early to prevent slamming and flipping the bow. There’s this bizarre current trend to bolt as many outboards as will fit on the transom of small open day boats. Anchoring in rolling seas, or negotiating tidal inlets where there’s a strong race is inviting a sinking with so much additional weight. I’ve seen numerous videos of clueless skippers ploughing through lumpy waters too fast, scooping in seawater and subsequently sinking. Inexperienced boaters must think the extra power makes them safer, because they can overcome strong tidal flows and can get to safety quicker. However, having all that grunt detaches you from experiencing and respecting the forces of nature, so learning about seamanship becomes a slow process. Some never learn at all, thinking a speed boat is just a car on water. Professional fishermen have boats that can endure bad weather. It’s not about speed, but stability.
@@IIIIIIPETEIIIIII Bass fishermen are competitive. Travel time costs money. Read about bass fishing tourneys before you speak. Also, if I was going to sea in a cruiser, dual engines makes huge sense, possibly life saving.
Very nice Boston! 👌
Sure is!
Very nice. I'd buy this.
Good choice!

My 20 ft open bass boat has a 250 on it. 600 hp on a 5.5 ton cabin cruiser is adequate. 100 hp ? Not on this planet.

@@IIIIIIPETEIIIIII ...It's a SAILING yacht. If you were a bass fisherman, you'd understand the need for performance.
