Beautiful boat for sure! Curious about fuel numbers/cruising speed.

Watch the video it is really well done

With 6-71 Nats you're going to cruise at hull speed, or around 10 knots, with ease. I think these burn around 5 each at an easy cruise RPM. So, 1 per mile, give or take.

Wow!... just WOW!

I actually thought it might get a bit better than 1MPG with that power at hull speed.

that is stunning, what a classic

It might be. I cruise 11.2 knots at 1525 RPM on 12v71TI's. I back down to 1450 RPM, still manage 10.8, but cut my fuel burn from 16 to 12. So every boat is different, and every barnacle has a different impact, but more or less you'll get a range around 1nm/g with genny, maybe slightly better in the right conditions.

She's a real looker. I'd have been all over her if not already into my Burger. Glad I am where I am, but she sure is a nice one.

Thanks for pointing that out as I hadn't paid attention to it. It really does bring home just how great this boat looks!

I've never ran a 65LRC but have to wonder how it would compare to a 70CY which could be had for about half the price. Two different animals, but that's the way I personally would be looking at it. I'll have to admit that I've been giving serious consideration to going the liveaboard route. The boy is going to fly the coop soon, I have those government checks coming in (retirement) with a pension kicking in, so it might just be time to make the move.

I was just over at the Mooring’s office didn’t see your boat.

I used to run a 42 Post with 6N’s in it it would burn 20GPH @ 2100 total I think they were 220 hp they may have derated them in the LRC as I see it says 185hp. I wonder what rpm you need to run th get max hull speed?

I'm in the Bahamas. I'll be back...

I posted a comp as my Burger was also Hargrave. I'm a bit heavier and swinging bigger props. Doubt she needs much effort to reach the speed, although sea conditions would need the RPM for speed stability. I could drop even more if I was good with true hull speed versus "My Target Hull Speed"...

Truly a proper yacht. Even the decorating IMHO is spot on. I wonder if this owner is a former owner of the 70 Sportdeck, also "Carry~On" that I sold a few years back, The font and styling of the boat name is identical and the crossed flags on the life rings look very familiar. There are other unique similarities like exterior upholstery color and trim.

There's drool on my keyboard.....

According to the magazine article in the brochure archives here, it cruises at 9 knots @ 1,400RPM while burning 8GPH total. I could live with that. Did I mention my birthday is in October, and that I'm up for adoption?

Gotta wonder what it would take to buy that one. I keep watching that damn video!

One of an extremely few number of boats I've seen where I wouldn't change a thing.

Here is another Hatt that someone spent a bunch on.
