And still 36sqft of room in the back....RETARDED!! Why do CC builders keep doin this? What jackass says you know I really need my console to be 12' long but I only need about 6' square in the back.....just plain stupid imo
 
IF(and thats a BIG IF) I had the money for something that big, I sure wouldn't be buying something where the whole transom is nothing but engines because it's so friggen big it NEEDS over 2000HP just to get up and go at any speed. I would opt for a 53 foot sportfish where I could have an air conditioned galley to go and eat lunch, lay down and take a nap, or go out and fish if the mood strikes me. This seems about useless to me IMO.
 
53 is just too dam much boat. give me the luhrs 300 walk or a Carolina classic. sh!t, up here I don't need no more than 22 or 24 foot of CC to get anywhere I need, almost.
 
Mercury has this new 400 hp Verado that has the best power to weight of all outboards. They call it the 400R. 4 would be perfect for a 53' Center Console. A quad 400R Nordic Center Console nearly touches 100 MPH. Not that I need to go that fast, but color me a guinea dripping with gold from Staten Island Baby, Cause Daddy Like!...
Console size is a no-brainer, I mean they ain't got a collective brain on that one.. Could not agree more..
 
Nice video. What a machine. Mil spec right out of the box, or so he made it sound like... Impressive design, and workmanship to say the very least. The Sea Hunter comes to mind as well. Yellowfin is always a tough one to beat, SeaVee, Contender, Fountain.
I want to see what number the 38 Fountain will put down with the new Mercury 400R 's That is a battleship and they are fast.. :sly:

29' SeaVee. It was a rough day to say the least. Easy 10' swell with the tide and wind working against one another. Short day after the wife chummed for snapper. I was shocked at: how much time the Opti's on the bracket stayed underwater. I am no longer worried about mine after seeing the water works there. And Just how dry the ride was for the conditions. Not so shocking was how little freeboard there was and how short the gunnels are in the back of the boat.
I am not delusional, There aren't any boats that could make those conditions good for the passengers. We were wet from head to toe mind you. Wind blown spray mainly. Cabin boat would have made a dry ride, otherwise, we should have stayed on the hill. No place for a V-20 IMPO!
