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?? Edited February 11 by kingie chaser 1 Link to post Share on other sites

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.

It's empty. ha! not to mention you would probably drink at least 500l or more in an afternoon. i saw a RIB at the boat show last year with two 400s on the back , fuel tank was 1100l , imagine being able to afford to burn $2500 of petrol, in a day 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jeffb5.8 230 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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 post Share on other sites

I could run my boat for 10 yrs for the price you paid for fuel that day.😂 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Billmack 55 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 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. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
motiondave 455 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 at drummoyne today, a RIB turned up to be put onto a trailer, the young bloke that was in it and his hot girlfriend, I asked how many it would sit, about 10 he said its the smaller tender for the super yachts, it had a 250 on the back. I mentioned the black one at the spit with twin 450s, he said its part of the group of boats he works for. I asked if they were going to swap the 450s for twin 600s, he said maybe bit too much, I said "never!" , he laughed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

savit 267 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 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 post Share on other sites
