50 foot monohull twin jet launch.


Recommended Posts

Try & ignore your aversion to power boats for a minute, I'm looking for a monohull launch, around 50 foot, twin jet powered, capable of 25 + knots that  I can use to film some wake shots of for a couple of days.

Anyone seen anything aroaund lately?

Rum or other suitable rewards for a successful tip off!

Ta,

Wrong number of hulls and I think shafts but you could film at that speed all the way to Fiji with this.

One of my favourite boats in the world, but not a monohull, not jets, ummm?

Ta though, hadn't realised it was back on the market.

Totally off topic but, how much fuel an hour are you burning at 27 knots?  100L?  Or more?

 

Yesterday she traveled from Tauranga to Wellington in 17 hours at an average speed of 27 knots.

Just under 6 litres/nautical mile, about 140 litres an hour.

But same l/nm from something like 18 knots to 30 knots.

Awesome boats, Roger Hill designed, mostly Pachoud built.

If you ever go to the dark side this is the way to do it! ;-)

I have a considerably more modest Hill cat and for sure the Barrier in 2 hours is no problem.

Mine is 2.6l/nm

I met Voodoo in Napier, we were heading north, they south.

They wanted to know how far out the cray pots were off Palliser as they wanted to cut the corner.

Speed seemed to be an obsession.

Sorry for the thread drift, my bad, kitty.
