Beautiful boat!

But there is something seriously wrong in the world when a 35 foot outboard boat is 450000.

The engines are what 40 each? So 350 for the hull and everything else. It's just mind boggling! The world no longer makes sense to me!!

I thought the 400s were like 30k each?

DW is the most underestimated highend cat builder

From the DW FB page:

the blue 32RT is 350K wholesale. The new 35RT needed many months of design, computer modeling and hundreds of thousands of dollars for building the tooling, labor and materials. So it’s not just 3 feet more. If you want to talk about dimensions, the 32RT has a 9’7” beam and the 35RT is 10’ 6”

The 318 Skaters are 350k to 400k IIRC.

Matt was quoted 110 but you have the seat time in your beauty. 100-120 in a 35 cat running twin 4 strokes in the rough is a definite beast... either way, the 400's are changing the cat market - quiet, mpg, reliability and speed.

I love BBC but they are starting to come a distant second more and more - the bang for the buck is hard to justify vs. these engines in similar applications.

Yes i too love the BBC sound as it idles off the fuel docks

But this 400R beast that merc racing has built is multi faceted, and has multi threaded use

...on one hand high performance cats can reach performance speeds like never before in a twin application

...and on the other, boat builders like Formula can use this power to operate on their large 40+ foot cruisers ...just incredible

And this is a bit longer (with more than just a bustle added) with build quality and speeds that are right there or even slightly exceeding that of Skater. So $450k seems in line if Skater is a standard in pricing.

The speed number supplied by Brett Manire of Performance Boat Center was understandably conservative. There's no point in promising something that can't be delivered, right?
