ARROWCAT 30, 30ft power catamaran CRUISIN with 250 mercury verado

and your right the boat its very heavy with the load we carry. i had it fully loaded with fuel, water, (1 tonne of weightt) plus food luggage & extra fuel, water nine people on board and we were still doing forty knots , and it needs the hulls cleaned badly!! fantastic boat and engines

very true!! and the verados are such a sweet engine too, and have not missed a beat. silky smooth electronic throttles, cruise modes , dock modes , single lever synchronizing. they are fantastic!

They might run 45 knots with 175's light ship... but this particular vessel is LOADED and it's anti-fouled. She has aircon, the works and runs 46 knots fully loaded with provisions and full fuel/water. Give the 175 powered boat the same weight and I personally think you'd need to re-prop it and you wouldn't achieve 40 knots.

Yes 250's are an overkill and not a real advantage except out of the hole. or by changing props and i cant be bothered doing that.

Thought it would run 46 knots with twin 175hp motors. Seens if so that the 250's are over kill. Your input?

hi there, 47 knots flat out! though i wouldnt want to be paying the fuel bill at that speed.....

i love moist

Looks like you had a ripper weekend on the water mate! *** Benny's tip for the day - Take the old squid bait off your hooks before it dries, it's heaps easier to remove when "Moist" :)
