So how fast is it?
$12,000 to fill her up with go juice. With 72 cylinders I would imagine a range of about 500 miles. 500 badass miles.
I feel sorry for the owner. Everything in and about this boat is about other people. Performance is not the key here. He may have grown up poor or he has some complex that he wants to make up for by impressing others.
That race is one material wealth will never win for him.
Spot on. Known a few types like that!
When are you going to sea trial this powerful beast, that would be a sight to see, a great tour of the biggest centre controlled boat with 3600hp outboard engines Wow!
And of course the Best feature of this boat its Astronomical fuel economy, how many MPG ops sorry I meant how many barrels to a mile
Smiles per gallon
@@caseylimbert266 of course but only if you own an oil company
@@polygamous1 maybe so, but I'm sure whomever purchased that boat thought about it first. Boats are holes in the water where you throw money, but if its something you enjoy, it's worth it. Plus I never cared what someone does with their own money
@@caseylimbert266 I understand your point of view of courre in an Ideal world briliant, but you aso have to consider this, how many homeless cold hungry people could be housed fed n clothed for what it takes to run this boat maintenance n depreciation for a year? Didn't Jesus say feed te poor? If you have 2 coats give one to soeone who has non he/she is cold shevering? after all we umans produse nothig out of othing we are only converting into somethig else Only from what God provided or us all on earth,each to their own consious i guess, sadly what I also didn't consider much in my younger years too
You mean GPM
Beautiful.
Almost $500k in the motors alone!
I want one of this beautiful layout
If you can get 1, let alone 6.
Good for bragging rights but that’s about it!
If money doesn't matter this is a feat of engineering. More than bragging. This is a collectors piece and a fucking insanely fun fast toy
It's only bragging to us, because we can't afford it.... yet
@@agentdoubleo7636 it will have more drag than a ULCC’s anchor.
1000 gallons of gas solid 15 minutes of drive time
It would be good for taking thirty plus people to the Bahamas in under an hour!
Only in Miami, where too much is never enough.
Yep: th-cam.com/video/dEjXPY9jOx8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GrzegorzGrabowiec
better leave it at the dock, the cost of actually running this beast out on the water with all engines engaged must be astronomical 👀🙈
how about a round of applause for the worlds strongest transom.
Gotta say I saw this coming. The idea with the V12 was originally billed as on or two of them taking the place of four or five six cylinder motors. we all knew dam well that people would take advantage of the stationary Power head and cram as many as possible onto a transom. It's almost time to take bets on the Super Charged V 12. I'm hoping for 800HP Instead of the probable 750.
Quite right. if you follow 7 marine as a benchmark with the now discontinued 627. The V12's are a high torque, super quiet motor rather than a racing variant like the 450's, so big boats and motor yachts are the target audience. They are also way lighter and cleaner than the 7 marines.
71-80 mphs my guess
The more engines you hang off the back, the more drag you create. Which is eating up the additional horsepower, along with the extra weight and fuel. Doesn't stop people from trying, though. They need to figure a way to have all those engines running two gear cases, instead of six. Maybe three props, at most. Then it would really fly.
I always wondered about that. They look cool but how much real, extra oomph do you get going from 4 to 5, or 5 to 6? Better pick up? Higher top speed? How much?
So….they need an inboard then.
Gear case needs a certain volume to be able to handle power, 2 gearcases with the same frontal area as 6 smaller ones means there isnt all that much difference in drag. Only way around it is surface drive.
@@paulmaul2186 Power to weight and hydrodynamic drag explains it nicely, there isnt any black magic to it.
@@cjeam9199 Normal inboard doesnt have less drag than an outboard, unless coupled to the quite uncommon surface drives.
I’m old…….🙁
I love fast cars, planes, bikes and boats…….. but these multi outboard boats just look grotesque to me……. They remind me of cars like the G wagon……. Awesome….. in AMG trim they are as far as you should go……. but Brabus/Kahn/Mansory….. all go over the top.
Brilliant boat with fillers, lifts, Botox and implants……. on steroids with a fake tan
Too much.
Less is more.
If money and fuel are no issue, get rid of the outboards and fit a gas turbine……. 🥳
Agree with your comments. I hear 'this boat is truly sensational...' and think... really? I mean, to make this more sensational you'd just fit a 7th engine.. then an 8th, or 9th, or 7000th engine..
I find clever design more sensational.. like the drop down balcony's which I've seen on Galeon GTs - or the electric hydrofoil recently show cased..
This boat strikes me as the Gillette marketing of boats...
TURBO MAX PRO with 5 blades, for the closest shave yet....
next year then out comes TURBO MAX PRO ELITE with 6 blades and green rubberised handle....
I’m pretty sure somewhere in a shed in England a guy has put 5 five horsepower outboards bolted across a scaffold board and then set on the back of a shortish fibreglass boat.
I’d pay to see that run, far funnier than this which is along the lines of a “my willy’s bigger than your willy” achievement. If it was a greyer interior I might have suggested Ron Dennis as the owner….
@@bluenapalm123
Exactly why I'd rather have an Axopar full cabin. Beautiful design, implementation, quality of materials & craftsmanship, usability, etc. and just the right amount of je ne sais quoi.
Darn it, my 8hp Tohatsu outboard suddenly feels a bit inadequate !
8 hp ejtrç
It's not the size mate, it's how you use it......or so I've been told
@@seeker9257 cannoñ ball ruñ theam
Bet you get way more smiles per HP.
Why? I assume the owner had some very specific requirements for the their idea of a good day out on the water? What were they? What is it this boat meant to achieve?
It’s just for showing off, the equivalent of a motorcycle with a v8 or a t-bucket with a big block.
This boat would've been much better with a swim deck and inboards. Inboards with comparable total power wouldn't drink this much fuel, or need to be this loud, or heavy or anything. There is a point at which more outboard becomes less
The mega wide-angle camera makes me a touch queasy 🤢
I wouldn't even bother with less than 8 600hp motors. This thing is seriously underpowered, YAWN!
How small is the owner’s Willy to need this boat?
So small he has to make up for it with this ridiculous show of ostentatiousness.
Proverbs 14:30 KJVS
[30] A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
not a big fan of this... would probably take an hour to start all those motors and your shoulder would be very sore
It's key start, you're not starting them by hand like on a 5hp!
@@MotorBoatYachting obviously you don't know anything about boats. these are outboard motors. not inboards. outboards are started with a pull string. inboards are started with a key. DUH!!

Will the market see at top end? Common man. It’s getting ridiculous.
Sorry, but I simply don’t see the point. It’s also very ugly
Thats why they make chocolate and vanilla. At least MBY is getting out and visiting the USA Boat show instead of flogging old 30 foot used boats on a youtube channel.
@@robertfrost1683 i get the point, your statement is aiming to someone 😄😄😄
Since when has leisure boasting ever had a point?
@@SaintKimbo getting to the pub/bar/anchorage where you can avoid everyone else - except those with the same idea and monetary availability…..
I don't understand the concept. It's like buying an oceanfront property with no windows. Why would I want a 65 foot boat with minimal living accommodations? I guess there is a buyer for everything?
“It would have been a fishing boat” but it was cheaper to buy a 135’ Fishing Trawler for the owner to get his fish.
AMAZING BOAT , but it has just consumed my entire lifes PETROL ALLOWANCE .
In a "Crocodile Dundee" accent: "Now that's a Day Boat!"
The “mine is the biggest” syndrome. It’s about ego not utility.
Nice owners cabin, but it's just a bit grotesque for my taste. It's American excess taken to extremes. I'll save my money for that inflatable kayak I've been after
These guys keep the economy rolling . Not liberals with prius junk
@@jeffreyyeater1780 You need one more for bingo!
It's always American excess isn't it. Anything to bash Americans huh. Oh, have you seen the Saudi royal families toys? Talk to us about American excess after seeing what they play with.
1:26 charging points for “Sea Bob?” What was he saying? Thanks never seen that thing before.
Hi Elliot. A super boat. Max power. Very nice interior. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊
Thank you, very much appreciated
If your not happy with two engines, let's throw 6 on there. Maybe put 8, no, make it ten.
Very nice. I'd still rather have an Axopar full cabin.
Excellent presentation, sir.
First word comes to mind… Why?
might as well just pump the fuel right into the water
That would be idiotic.
Top speed? It seems like a crucial statistic.
70mph/61knots in the description 👍
Is that all 🙈
I just realized that this boat has 72 spark plugs and they are $40 each. Yeah, i know it doesn't matter, they last 1000 hour and it's far from the most expensive service point, but I just find it hilarious that some guy, somewhere, sometime, is going to have to order a case of sparkplugs and pay $2800 for them...
Eh, that’s like an hour’s worth of gas for this boat!
I hear used prices are up, wonder how much trade in value I’ll get on my Cobia 220CC. Maybe we can put a deal together
In the UK fuel is about to reach £2 per litre. The climate is broken. Whoever designed and built this is insane.
Don’t pay the full rate of fuel duty on marine diesel. I’m unsure about petrol, might be full rate. But yeah. Really emphasises that some people have too much money.
Climate scare is just a bunch of hype. Like all the previous scares before it. Ice age, global warming, climate change, global famine, killer bees, AIDS, COVID, Acid Rain, nuclear power ect ect they are always trying to use fear to control the population.
Well done on the presentation and wow what a beast, not my thing at all but what a beast. 👍🇬🇧❤️
I just want to know who set that song up on the audio system,.....just hoping he would hit the play button !! 🤣😂🤣😂
Glad to see you get over here for a fabulous boat show. Time for some of your fellow yacht youtubers to come to the US and see some great center consoles and tournament fishing boats.
Thanks Robert, we've got plenty more Miami videos on the way - make sure you subscribe so you don't miss any!
What an absolute beast !!! I don't think it would be much use over here in the UK lol but nevertheless a stunning looking boat
Why wouldn’t it be…?
@@NoLimitsLandon there just aren’t many boats like this here. I’m not totally sure why, but fuel is more expensive, the weather isn’t as nice as Miami, and just what is popular is quite different to this.
Sure! In the UK most days of the year the water is rough! This big boat would be in it's element! Fuel costs? Well if you can afford the 4.5 million dollar price tag . . .
How much is an oil change?
Drug runners will love this.
Drones are cheaper and fly right over walls...
@@justayoutuber1906 carrying 10 ton plus of drugs.........
Usually don't like these boats, but this one is exceptional.
The Scout 53XLF still BLOWS that boat away in accommodations! And it's 12 feet shorter.
I honestly have trouble understanding how people can afford things like this...I'm not trying to shame anyone or say people shouldn't "have this much money" because honestly, I say good for them...but from the perspective of my own life, I'm like holy cow!
I’ve mixed with people with similar things and it’s usually a result of talent and hard work.
„This boat shall cost as much as possible!“ - the owner -
Six engines? That's bush league. We like to put at least eleven on ours. That way, when we get into a shootout with that coast guard helicopter, we probably have 4-5 engines left.
Good point
I would need seven outboards to consider buying this boat
What about the Eclipse 605? I know they are claiming it to be the World’s Fastest Outboard-Powered Express Cruiser so I'd like a review on her.
Glad to see nobody claimed that the boat has 3600hp with those motors
Why is that?
When people have more money than they know what to do with
He knew just what to do, buy this boat.
On another video somebody commented that you can get a viking 60 for around the same money. The beam width and the draft are very similar. True the viking has A fly bridge which gives you room on the viking for master cabin plus two twin cabins plus multiple heads and large salon with galley. So why is this this boat 60 feet long? Is it the bait tanks and freezers and ice makers that take up space? Is it the walk-in auxiliary mechanical room? The viking 60 correct me if I'm wrong:. Looks like the viking 60 does not give adequate access to your electrical/pump room/generator room. Or another boat is the Pardo 60. Not a fishing boat, but a performance cruiser. Somebody reply please. What are the compromises with the estrella? What is the reason for Less cabin space less sleeper space? Is it because the estrella has tanks for storing fish? But I can clue in the people who say the outboards are gas guzzlers. Probably you don't have to run all the engines. You can turn them on individually.
What is the fuel flow, as in litres per minute on full noise with this thing?
One would have to own a couple of gas stations, to fuel this beast! 3600HP=.25MPG, superb fuel mileage!
Boats don’t use MPG they go by GPM 😉
bla bla bla didn't even see it go
@@michaelmaas5544 Going back a gazillion years to my high school days, 0.25MPG = 4GPM (or roughly 940l/100km)! This is very economical indeed, compared to the Carribean cruise ship Harmony which burns through 2,800 gallons per hr at 25 kts, which by my calcs is 96GPM - or roughly 22,600 l/100km! Harmony does carry a few more pax though...
I’d assume 8+ gpm.
This boat is so "American" it hurts.
Looks like a drug boat
This is the owners dingy for his 657 ft yacht. Rich people have all the fun. Lol
When the 600 hp motor came out about a year back, I thought it will be only a matter time that someone will stick 6 of them behind a boat. Welp, here we are. I am not complining though.
Mercury has a 500hp version of this motor called the Sea Pro for commercial applications. It has heavy-duty components that provide rugged reliability.
I believe these are the motors that killed the production of the 7 Marine engines.
It’s an American thing.
Max and cruiser speed? Long range? Fuel tank?
Wait what was that song on the display at the helm🤔😭
Enough power to risk ripping the transom right off?
Whoever bought this boat has more money than brains!
perfect smuggler's engines setup!!!🤣
This appears to be a direct competitor to the Midnight Express Piedamerand Cigarette Tirranna 60 foot class center console 6 motor boats.
This water version of the lifted trucks I see driving around. A waste of money and compensating for something.
Sounds like you dont have a clue about trucks or boats or capitalism 🤔
amazing boat and nice walkthrough man
70 foot boat without a day heads and an interior straight from 2005. How much does this cost again?
I liked the interior
Top speed?
One night with Kayden Kross/(Peter North), or the keys to this boat for 1 year?
it must be cheaper to get that kind of power this way than go with a pair of bigger inboard units?
This is the equivalent of a hot rod with a giant blower sticking out of a huge hole in the hood.
the hinges on the tables need to be hidden so they are not sticking up when opened. Poor design.
What isn’t said is while this may be the most powerful outboard boat today, the first estrella hull was fitted with 6 627hp 7marine outboards. Which makes it the most powerful outboard power head boat of all time. Not this
It was 5
Am I the only one that thinks this boat looks extremely dated? It looks old. When you compare it to European boats, the cabin looks like it’s from 2001, the whole thing is just a bit ugly. Doesn’t appear to have had a lot of thought put into the design and layout… apart from making everything big.
I feel like that about all the sport fishers too.
Speed?
This level of greed, gluttony, and disrespect for the environment make me glad gas prices are so high.
Tell that to Biden and airfarce 1 . 600 flights ✈️ over your head at any given moment. Wake up.
cant believe that anyone can buy this boat.......badass
Still on sale rn, 5.5 million
@@jeremyclarkson1 You missed out the chance to say powwwwaaaaaaaaa!
3:00 my neck my back. lmfao
Always amused by boats this powerful because it raises the question of a) what license is required and b) mandatory training to drive one of them. If you work in LE. Military or Coastguard, you would only be allowed to coxswain a boat like this after umpteen courses. Somehow in the private sector, private ownership means ?
A quick search revealed it is down to each state…
@@achosenman9376 Around here anything under 24 meter in length can be driven by any 15 year old.
@@karipintakivi9153 Yep sounds about right. Around here you need nothing…scary.
The money involved is a natural limiting factor to this problem.
Kari Pintakivi that’s just nuts. That’s the equivalent of a 15 year who has just passed their driving test buying and driving a Lamborghini.
Looks beautiful 🤩
That's what I'm talkin 'bout!! Powder coat > Stainless
Wonderful, boat.
It’s in the ‘Free’ spec.....it’s All White Now 😉
Appreciated by a kid from the 70’s 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How far can this boat go with 6 engines on? Can it leave the marina without being refuelled halfway to haulover?
1800,gallons I’m sure it has decent range as long as you’re not going all out.
Speed wasn't mentioned - but it seems that 65 mph is quoted elsewhere
That’s impressive
Cost?
Why would you have an owner's cabin without any windows?!
I agree with Ian down there, turbo diesels or gas turbines.
There is well over 7 THOUSAND lbs of engines back there. And at $80k EACH? Nice work but no thakyou.
This center console with clampons craze has me bored to death.
I'll see ya out there 🤪
Quite symptomatic of somepbody who is very unstable. 6 engines ? 2 of everything and the ultimate of bad taste, but all of it shrieking - I have money. Mind you; I suppose it keeps the boat yards at work....
How much does it cost?
wonder how many gallons an hour it can gt through.
Almost 400 I think.
@@hautehussey good grief LOL
Not anymore, my boat has 7x600. BAM you’ve been served.
It's more than likely a tender for a superyacht
Ohhh..... Beautiful boat in FILTHY water!
There comes a point in time when too much is just too much. We have arrived at that point.
Don't get me wrong, it's a phenomenal boat. But, very excessive.
Of course you need to tow a fuel barge behind it to keep it running.
$10,800/tank if you figure $6/gallon at today’s prices for premium at the dock.
How do we know it’s fast
How much is this boat???
1800 gallons of fuel 🤔. So in 3 months it’s only going to cost 132,000 bucks to fill it up for a quick trip down the river 💎
