Info on 44 Tempest
Looking for info on the Tempest 44
What do you know about them and can you post any pic's in/out. Any out there for Sale ?????? Thank you |
Had twin Caterpillar 3208 diesels, inboards, through the "T-Torque" surface drive system. Wider beam, maybe 11' or so, if memory serves me. Nice build quality, no speed burner though. They were pretty heavy. I'd say 45-50 MPH max.

My family had one back in 88-89.
Was worst of both worlds. Stupid cockpit layout, had to take a few steps to get over the engines and into back cockpit. Was about 10ft beam. Not fast, and not roomy. The T-Torque did throw a good rooster. Ours sank at the dock, then went up north, i think to canada. |

So did you like it or not?:drink:
Thought i was the chit. Besides that... It is NOT a high performance boat. It's not a cruiser. It's like nothing else... thank god. |
Thanks for some info.
I thought the boat seemed to be cool. Any pic's that you can share on how there set up Seemed to have a bit of everything, cabin with standing head room and a lot of sun space and could run how fast??????? Any out there that you know of and what are they worth $$$$ |
not sure, i'd guess it ran in the mid-upper 40s w/ the 3208 cats(375hp).
It's a heavy boat. We had the riviera. It had twin bolster at helm + 1 to port. Then the engine box w/ hand rail w/ aft cockpit. Looks like the sport would be a better layout. If you look at the pic of the sport its running in BIG water. http://www.tempestyachts.net/main.htm |
Any pic's of them in and out.
has anyone seen some for sale and what are they worth in todays market |
Didn't the mold for the 44' come from a Mirage? or some other boat? I remember one that was docked at Rum Runners in Miami on Maul Lake. when he left the marina and nailed it, it wouldn't get on plane for a mile or more.

Any one have pic's of the out side and how it look on the inside
