What a great way for me to enjoy my morning coffee . Sitting around -6 F in Northern Ontario , Canada . Heheh, that first boat, made me look it up. You know for research , just in case a windfall comes my way . Literally just started to watch .

MrDeman40 glad you are watching from Canada !! That's where it all got started for Me!! I grew up on the Welland Ship canal and did most of my boating growing up around Great Lakes and Minden Ontario! Floridian now but love coming home in the summer time when its nice there!

@andygrundy1900 4 роки тому
Commented on another video reasons I can see why the center console is becoming so popular and wow that I think 39ft mti with the red graphics is absolutely stunning! Now with the new Merc 450R can really have some great performance. Even though the Merc 400R is no slouch either and the fuel economy difference from the big cubic inch supercharged or other forms of forced induction performance boats isn't even close. Those Mercs use 1/4 of the fuel lol
@FLpowerboatClub 4 роки тому
Andy ...thanks for the comments. Just to clarify, if you are referring to Center consoles ...the MTI center console model is a 42 foot boat.. They also have a 39 foot boat but that is in the new catamaran series. Thanks:)
@HyperXism 4 роки тому
I noticed a shift from diesel engines to outboards. Is is because of the EPA and all the emissions stuff? Or another reason?
@FLpowerboatClub 4 роки тому
HyperXism ...answer probably has many dimenions, but primarily lightweight, reliable, bolt-on horsepower that runs on easily accessible low-octane gasoline.. Mercury Marine and Mercury Racing made it an easy decision for buyers that want reliable long-range cruising, without sacrificing performance!

@Salmon4lif3 4 роки тому
How much fuel ⛽️ are you going through on a 6 day event with quad 400r’s??
@Fustang 4 роки тому
I think the MPG on those are about 1-.5 MPG
@FLpowerboatClub 4 роки тому
Eazy (below) is correct. If the average quad 400 boat is about .8 mpg, we do 600 miles, thats 750 gallons. Average price on the water is $ 4.50 lets say, thats about $ 3400 in fuel for a quad boat... It can go either way depending on what cruise speed you select, but most find a sweet spot around 50mph cruise. Thanks for asking!
@lorenzocaimano184 4 роки тому
seams to me that the MTI sail much better then the other, better then freman too.

You keep repeating “reliable center console”. What’s unreliable about a modern, mild 520 powered craft? You’ll see hundreds of problem-free hours on them.
@FLpowerboatClub Рік тому
Oscar yes 520 stern drives are reliable also,- but usually only two 520's on a powerboat...vs 3-4 outboards. We have learned over years, outboard applications have proven to be reliable with less maintenance than sterndrive. But trust me, I am a strong sterndrive lover....my two boats are mercury racing powered stern drives, five motors in all...
@northnorthwest7290 4 роки тому
My only complaint is that there is So much TALKING!! I found myself fast forwarding hoping to hear the sound of the boats, but just kept hearing so much Bla-Bla. Let’s hear the boats, not the DJ working to stretch it out talking over the music.
@FLpowerboatClub 4 роки тому
North Northwest- sorry but you dont seem to understand our mission as producers. These are travel documentaries by design. Purpose is to educate viewers on who the attendees are, what kind of boats, destinations, activities, procedures...bla bla bla. This is not a monetized episode, nor is for promoting engine noise. There is very little because engine noise bc most are outboards and make NO detectable noise when underway. We have other videos that are focused on loud engines, but not on this series
@FLpowerboatClub 4 роки тому
If I may quote viewer @Brandonthorbahn : More incredible footage from fpc, you guys are awesome! I can’t get enough of these videos. Very informative and educational, all of your videos are like this. I get to see the baddest boats on the planet and learn about them while touring beautiful Florida.
