craigdritchie Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 The other day Intrepid Marine released a video of their new 475 Panacea offshore fishing boat, powered by four Seven Marine outboards at 557 hp each. Yup, that's a total of 2,228 hp on a fishing boat. Top speed so far is 78 mph or 125 km/hr, which is pretty good for a 47.5-foot boat that's 13 feet wide and weighs nearly 15 tons (boat is approx 21,000 pounds, plus engines at around 1,000 pounds apiece plus about 2,100 litres - or 4,850 pounds - of fuel). The price? If you have to ask, don't bother. Fact is I don't know, it wasn't announced. Think well into six digits. But I suspect most of us wouldn't even want to buy the gas for this thing. Cool looking boat though. Starting up, it sounds more like a jet plane than a salmon boat. Enjoy the video. http://youtu.be/QgXgikf_q10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yikes...2100 liters of, no doubt, premium fuel ...from a marina = cash in rrsp's to go fishing. Beautiful machine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 That thing is not normal!!! Crazy boat with obscene hp. 2100 litres of fuel will not go far in that thing if you hammer down on the fun stick. I figure that puppy goes for 300k or so.

Roy Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I figure that puppy goes for 300k or so. The engines alone are $275,600.00 US plus taxes...that would only leave you with $24,400. for a 47' Panacea. I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a marina? No, you'd use your helicopter to bring fuel to the boat... and likely save a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUD150 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Would I be ok towing this behind my mini-van? Or am I going to need a brake controller and transmission cooler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Oh yeah! I always forget about my damn helicopter! I just don't use it as much as I used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
