G'day
Was detailing down on the hardstand today at MBTBC, then this thing came in on a truck, first launch..... I'd guess it to be between 36' and 40' long, weigh next to nothing with 1400hp strapped to the rear in the fashion of 4x 350hp Yamaha 4 banger V8's. It's headed to the kimberlies. Built locally (I presume) by Woody Marine (anyone heard of them?)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Power toy........ Wonder if they take a wife trade in for her.......... If not they can take her to the Kimberlies and use her as croc bait anyways LOL

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges
Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)
I think thats the promo boat Yamaha did in WA, looks like its found its way over here

Garry, Maybe, I was under the impression it was new... but maybe not?
Would you hazard a guess as to fuel economy at cruise (whatever that is)

hi the fuel tank would have to be at least 1000ltrs because i know they use 25ltrs an hour x 4 = 100ltrs per hour at 4000rpm and 55ltrs per hour at 5500rpm x 4 = 220ltrs per hour at full stick. you would want the passengers to be paying good money to be on the ride.
cheers jim
go over to woody's yard at Tingalpa Dave, they make some nice RIB's. worth a short drive for a look.

G'day
Looks like the sister vessel @ 14M only carries 795L of fuel.... a bit light on I would think?
Dave
I think Woody marine make the woody marine water heaters and they build the Naiad RIB's. We have a 12' Naiad as a tender with a 30 on the back and it is one of the most seaworthy small boats I have been in
