I always like how they talk about eating on a table that is a floor everyone walks around of with bare feet! That one 500R looked like it was going to fall off
I love the boat but I’m more in love with that hat you have on ❤❤ 🇧🇸. I’m from the Bahamas so I absolutely appreciate the love you show for our little country.
What a monster! Those 500R's are just awesome. Just did the math out of curiosity and even if you had 5 Mercury 600's you would have the same power but almost 2000 more pounds of weight.
But less drag due to fewer shafts in the water, so it wouldn't be as large of a performance difference as you might think. The 600s are also probably more fuel efficient as well. On a boat that big, a 2000lb weight difference is only a few percent of the boat's weight, so I would pick the 600s. But I imagine the primary concern of actual buyers is showing off 6 outboards and that's why it's offered.
@@TheVonMatricesI’ve been trying to figure out the cruising speed with 4 600s. I read the new 51 Intrepid Panacea, with a full tank (900 gallons) and 7 people on board did 71mph with a cruising speed in the low 50s. I’m assuming thus would be similar
Anyone else who wanted to hear the engines and not stupid music? Its a racing boat come on man, nothing about it is impressive besides the engines/power.
Amazing boat with amazing features. The idea of the two retractable dining tables is great in theory and it is obiviously done for space conservation. But at the end of the day you are inviting your guests to eat off the floor that you have been walking on all day long.
6 engines on any CC is stupid---looks stupid as well ...while it gets up and "goes", a 5 pack looks better and you only loose abot 10mph...not a big deal for a boat this size....I'm questioning all the electrical connections on the transom area where water will over flow from your "slowdown" wake. Great review and great boat for sure...looking at visibility from the 2nd row seats or the helm, he is either short, or visibility is shallow...wonder why Cigarette doesn't update their website to tie into the launch of the boat? Seems they need a new communications director.
All these performance boat builders have terrible websites in that they are not up to date or provide much information. I wonder how many new buyers they actually get? Whenever I see owners of these performance boats, they are either dealers using the boat while it is on sale, or they are people who are diehards that buy a new boat from the brand every few years. It doesn't seem like there's ever new blood. Also, I doubt the 6th motor adds as much as 10mph - it's probably closer to 5-6. A bad value unless you want to show off.
Read My Comment On This Boat & Physics. Look Up The "Blue Bird Jet Boat" and see what happens. This Boat Is For Show & Would Come Apart, Flip Or Wreck If You Tried To Run Full Throttle In Four Foot Waves.
I really wish they'd share the sound when at full throttle! Im intrigued as if it were to be more water or more motor noise. That left bank engine stabilizer is broke BTW
Wow. Incredible Boat Overview. I'm new. Amazed w the few negative comments. For the neigh sayers... Lauderdale Boat Show a month away. Can't wait to check out the 52 Thunder myself!!!!
A good friend of mine probably laid-up the 'glas for the hull. He's working on a 63' quad Cat powered (3600 HP+) Cig' right now. If you have to ask "how much" don't bother! Stupid question on the 52' outboard; who adjusts the trim to keep only the back 6 feet of boat in the water on an outboard? Also, do all six props turn the same direction? Most inboards gear the props for different directions to reduce cavitation, or if not "build for max speed" buyers will spec contra-rotating props on each shaft for better low and mid-range performance (so I'm told).
If you're going to use the cabin, i like the Scout 53, but if you are going to party, this is it. Great use of the transom. Unfortunately, i can't affordable either. AWESOME VIDEO!
Exactly! I have noticed this on some of the other sextuplet outboard videos. The outer two outboard engines get hammered, and it gets worse with the bigger waves and in a turn. The amount of force involved here is significant. Even with a shortened shaft, they dance around in the gimble mount noticeably. I slowed this video down to try and determine where in the mount the flex was occurring. They must be designed to move like this; otherwise, would have heard news of one ripping off by now.
@@wilwiseman3022 nope nothing goods comes from this extreme vibration except women! its def a engineering fault. the resistance outer portion is to violent for the outboards. some thing will give in a matter of time. imagine if that was the wheel of your car! if it was my boat i would be concerned.
Midnight Express 43 ideal size, unless you are going to Bimini type distance, then I like the Midnight Express Vitesse for the hull. This is a big boat, heavy w 6 400s. But money no object category.
When I was a teenager( mid 80’s), on Conneaut Lake Pa…there was a monster boat. It was called THRILLER. I don’t recall the length of the boat…but it had 3 Black Max Mercury 290hp outboards. On a placid morning, that boat would open up and the people who were walking the boardwalk would just watch. That boat would fly…
This boat is incredible it's the same thing I said when I see everybody driving midnight Express's. Who are they marketing these towards? Who the hell has this kind of money looks like plenty of people do

The amount of hydrodynamic drag from 6 lower units eats up at least 1500 horsepower. so one single 3,000 horsepower turbocharged 600 cubic inch V8 would be far more efficient!.. .
I love the table on the transom he said it’s perfect to cut up some lines ❄️❄️ and prepare drinks.
Limes...Lines....😂😂
Right..he just breezed right past that 🤣 🤣
lol...I went, wait what? and then I remembered we are talking south Florida...haha!!!
It does snow In Florida, ask Tom Brady
It does snow In Florida, ask Tom Brady
They managed to film over 16 minutes and not 1 second of the motors at speed...impressive.
What he said! I saw another demo where they let the lady and the other guy drive it at 80.
They are engines not motors, but your point is valid
@@skytyme7721 So the term ‘motorboat’ isn’t valid then. Or motorcycle for that fact.
@@Donfleebie1exactly. Example; I work at the Harley Davidson Motor Company - not the HD engine company
This man speak more than an old lady.... Start the motors and run
Stunned that there was no actual audio of the boat running?!
Never left the dock
It's a boat that 99% of us will never be able to afford. But it's got some innovative features. A great layout. Plus just a beautiful look.
99.999 you mean:)
Powerboats like these its only $2 - $3m and thats quite achievable not unlike superyachts that are super expensive
We can't even afford the fuel bill. Lol
most people are not able to afford a boat in the first place.
Bro then just stop being broke…you are where you are today because of you and that’s your fault and don’t speak for everyone 😂
Great video. Would love to hear those 500's at speed, even if just for a few seconds.
I always like how they talk about eating on a table that is a floor everyone walks around of with bare feet! That one 500R looked like it was going to fall off
Thought the same about the table
yo your so valid. you gotta put a plastic sheet over it just to eat lol
I don’t know about you but I don’t eat directly off of tables 😂
@@Truth_Spokenthen you ain't eati'n right!!! JK lolZ
Definitely something loose.
I love the boat but I’m more in love with that hat you have on ❤❤ 🇧🇸. I’m from the Bahamas so I absolutely appreciate the love you show for our little country.
These boat builders are out of control. I wish someone would build a 16 -20 ft performance outboard like back in the day.
Right you are. This boat has too much that could go wrong and that the owner couldn't possibly fix, like cars nowadays.
@@chriskelly6559it doesn’t matter what could go wrong if you can afford a boat with $450000 In outboards.
Yeah I agree, but these are boats for the rich and famous lol!! Not us folks lol!!
Buy a tuff 16 or any 21ft tunnel boat. Stv liberator checkmate hydrostream etc
@mikethompson1964 .I can afford 1 or 2 of them because I am a truck driver.I am rich,Rich in dept.
It’s amazing what they put into these vessels. Wow!
What a maintenance nightmare.There will never be a day where all that stuff is working at the same time.🤭
thanks a lot for the great intro of the 52 thunder. Always a pleasure to view and listen your presentation. Regards from France

Yes, it's for status, 5 500hp would run about the same speed.
@@TheVonMatrices10 smaller 300hp would be better.
I would never buy a boat unless it has 7 outboards
8 for me, with 2 inboards also!!
What happened to 2 powerful fuel efficient engines? Weird we burn more fuel to cross water, than we do on land...can I run 4 LS engines in my car!?!?
Anyone else who wanted to hear the engines and not stupid music? Its a racing boat come on man, nothing about it is impressive besides the engines/power.

@@timdoyon1964 thank you for saving 15 minutes of my life.
Yes
Love It! Lord imagine what’s going to happen w all that electrical 🤦♂️
can't image what such level of luxury can be in just one small boat from first vision - but at the end not so small as you mentioned.

Cover?
Caviar is Caviar , I'd eat it off the floor if was offered a ride on that beast
Thought same but if you use a plate, wipe down the table etc. Probably not a big deal for most
So, just wipe it down with some spray and a paper towel.
It's not like it's a toilet seat that doubles as a table...
When you are rich who cares?

Beautiful Cigarette.
He knows his boat.... that's for sure!!!
Like he built it himself. Jaw dropping machine!
I have to admit, that is a lot of power and a lot of engines for a boat
It's one of those things that if you ask how much it costs to buy and run, you can't afford it. It's a stunning bit of kit.
I know I can't afford it.. but I still want to know..........

Imagine converting the entertaining space to a fishing space! Bet it's possible!
Oh yes, for all those people that want to go fishing at 85 miles an hour
@@Bozemanjustin absolutely!! trolling speed for jaws and loch ness monster is 70 mph...........
Beautiful boat for someone with crazy money to spend… but will never love 6 outboards hanging off the transom.
There’s a few large center console cats with multiple outboards that are pretty sick as well.
He said set up drinks and cut some lines up??? Lol live it, I k ow he said lines but had to rewind
Did he say have a few drinks and ' cut some lines up' lol
I believe that he said "Cut some Limes Up" for the drinks!

Wow..C'mon...My AMC stock needs to hit. Awesome boat!!!
When we moon lets twin lol
I think at that point inboard engines make more sense. Turning 6 propellers isn't super efficient.
Thanks for the update. Now I know not to waste my time.
I love big outboards, it used to look cool dual and triple outboards but it’s starting to look stupid ✌️
I’m wondering what the cruising speed is with 4 600 Verados.
That boat would look absolutely stunning with twin 1350 inboards
It does!
Even if I had the money, the fuel cost would be outrageous! Give me a 22ft bassboat paired with one of those 500's 😁
Was it me or was that one engine bouncing around alot more than the others?
A lot more
BAD ASS Beautiful Boat, In my Dreams!!!
Very Beautiful boat👍😎👍⚓️⚓️👍😎👍⚓️⚓️
Trimmed out I’m guessing 92 mph at 5800rpm?
Talk about diminishing returns; the drag on 6 outboards is insane.
Even if i can't afford it at the moment, lol Always include the price of what's being presented.
3million +
Enjoyed the walkthrough and your attention to detail. Beautiful boat for sure. I did want to actually hear those Mercury 500 Rs…

I don't understand how the back of that boat can house that much power anyway wow what a beautiful beast one of those motors is out of my league
I’m not sure that the transom will hold up over time, the starboard engine was wobbling around quite a lot under power
I don’t like how that outside engine wobbles! Yikes!
😮 Monster boat❤
I'd rather have the Tirahnna (w/6x 600's). But this is like the Tirannha Jr. This is still pretty sick.
Some guys just have it all.
Nice boat, won't want fuel bill! John P.
Interesting and informative 🇯🇲 💯
All the actuated stuff is so cool, but is there no way they could make it move even a little faster?
Think you could fit a couple more motors if you extend the transom .

Great video ; great job
