Can an Invincible Boats 40' Catamaran Travel 800 Miles in one day?

Спорт

In this video, Chris embarks on a challenge to travel from Orange Beach, Alabama to Treasure Cay in the Bahamas in less than a day. He was faced with nasty seas and rough winds along the way. The boat used to make the trip was a brand new out of the box Invincible 40' Catamaran with Quadruple Mercury 400 Verado Motors!

    let us do the math.... Let us say you buy/trade in an old boat and get 300k for it and use it as a down payment: 1) 300k down 2) 1.2 million purchase 3) 3% interest loan on 900,000k loan (total minus down payment) 4) At a 60 month term (5 years), this is a $16,112 per month payment 5) you have to do 4 trips a month at 4k just to cover the boat COST!!!!!

    Yeah i did the math on fuel, with gas prices in cali where i live there and back would be about $8k of fuel. in Alabama this is more like 4-5k but still. Just for gas.

    Michael Kallelis It's not to unusual to run in the dark offshore. I am not to able now but we did a lot of Fishing and Diving at Night for Flounder around the Liberty Ships here in the northern Gulf. Out of Dauphin Island Al and Orange Beach. Did that for years. Don't recall hitting anything at Night But there are Logs in the Gulf that come down from Mobile Bay - Rivers. Did hit a BIG Turtle one day. Lots of Diving at Night 20 miles out ! Miss it really bad !

    Michael is right, you guys are not offshore yet and should not run 48mph with less then a 100 feet of visibility inside of the liberty ship. Although that radar is impressive, and that may be all that is needed to open it up at night. I wouldn’t know, most of us wouldn’t know, most of us would have towed. And that is not a 20 mph head wind at day break, maybe inside the storm it was that was 10 miles to the west.

    I spend a good deal of time in Orange Beach (boat at Sportsman's) and I think that is your place on canal near Bear Point. I have thought of doing a version of this trip to Islamorada in my Everglades but breaking it into two days. We are heading out next Friday for a week. Overall getting the weather right is key especially since I don't have a cat hull. Very interesting to see the 0.8 consumption with quads. My buddy's 36' Yellowfin with 350 trips gets about 0.7.

    Great run! thanks for posting. Quick question, do those motors have a run-in period or can you just go hard straight out of the box (which you seemed to do). Also, did you need to check oil each time you set off? Just curious really as most motors have a heavier run-in oil (plus metal particles). Maybe these are run-in at factory?
