Its only being made for people who have a Bugatti Chiron sitting in the driveway of their Point Piper home not people who park their Hyundai Getz in front of their Mt. Druitt house 😄 2 speed transmition sounds interesting, not sure why you would only naturally aspirate it though??

V12 Verado and 600HP Bahaha 🤣 that’s insane... “we included the most technically advanced technology and packaged it in the smallest space “ ... so you guys can go and dunk it in salt water ... yee ha Thanks for sharing Antony - there’s lots of innovation there and lots to go wrong - hopefully it will be a long time before barrycuda needs a new powerplant.

jeffb5.8 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 My in-laws had a 38ft Mustang with twin 5.7 ltr motors. I once took it out and it had a full tank, burned around the harbour, round to middle harbour and up and down the river and when I went back that evening I had 1/4 tank. I filled her up and it cost me $790 hence forth I never borrowed it again. Fuel was $1.34 at the marina which was .30c dearer than at the petrol station. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could run my boat for 10 yrs for the price you paid for fuel that day.😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billmack Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 This crabbing boat passed me at full throttle on the Mary River at Shady Camp many years ago, I was in my own world trolling, scared the bejesus out of me. And then there was the wake. A lot of horse power for back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savit Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Unlike cars - the boat motor technology has stuck in the past with poor efficiency due to lack of real competition on the market for decades and targeting mostly high income customer segment. I hope the electric battery technology gets soon to the price, weight, efficiency level enough so electric motors can be used widely in recreational fishing boats - no more noise, no smell, easier service, and free or cheap charge at home i.e. more fishing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonywardle Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Well each one is around 385KG I think This one has a screen that cost more than my Boat/Trailer and OB. So its a V48 2400HP beast. @zmk1962, you're going to need a bigger car to tow it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
