Cool fast boat


If i win the lottery than this my boat !!

London. On Friday, August 3, 2001, the Italian yacht designer Fabio Buzzi and his yacht crew wrote a new chapter in the history book of records: With their yacht "Record", they covered the 2000 nautical miles (3854km) from Monte Carlo to London in 63 hours and 54 minutes, setting a new record for the so-called "Steigenberger Trophy". With its four 12V 2000 engines (total power: 6000HP), the Model FB80 yacht built by the Fabio Buzzi shipyard in Lecco near Como reached an average speed of approx. 32 knots (60km/hr). The previous record time, reached by Skipper Rolf Versen and his catamaran "Ultimaratio" on June 28, 1992, was thus beaten by 25 hours and 24 minutes.
Starting in Monte Carlo, the route led via Barcelona through the Strait of Gibraltar, headed toward Ibiza, then - via El Ferrol and Brest - to London, the finish line being next to the Tower Bridge. The most ominous factor of uncertainty during the record attempt was the weather. Even with calm conditions at the start, the ocean never stays that way over the complete distance. As a matter of fact, the crew had to fight force-4 winds and four-meter waves while crossing the Bay of Biscay.

not bad... my boat will cruise at 35Knts but the fuel would last about 20 miles!

[GTR R34]

But is the topspeed is something like 110 km/h.
It's very fast for is size and has something like 24000 liter fuel on board !!!
The owner of the fb80 record is Austrian powerboat pilot Hannes Bohinc.


The FB 80' Record!
ZF 2-Speed Transmissions - ZF Trimax Surface Drives
80 ft - 6,000 Mhp - 70 kts !!
¡¡¡¡With the FB 80' project, FB Design is demonstrating the validity of a new concept in challenger crafts history. As opposed to past challengers solely designed for speed records, such as Ultimaratio, Drambuie Tantalus, Gentry Eagle, Cable & Wireless and Cat Link V, FB Design is demonstrating it's capability of designing and constructing a leisure craft that can easily be dedicated to the tough proving grounds of endurance speed challenges such as the Venice - Montecarlo, Montecarlo - London, Round Britain, Miami - New York, Transatlantic crossing and Round the World.

¡¡¡¡It is well known that the speed of planing hulls is related to the best power to weight ratio, efficiency of the drives and good hydrodynamics. FB Design has outdone itself in creating the FB 80¡¯ monohull, where the concept of Integration of the hull with the drives and the transmissions lies at the heart of the project.

The idea behind this revolutionary nautical concept, is derived from the modern car industry trends in which every component including the engine is designed specifically for its final application. Fabio Buzzi first applied this concept in the production of his minor crafts, in which all components including the design of the Seatek engine, the surface drives and the trim tabs were finalized for each individual model.


FB 80 Record

The victory cat is made for short distance racing but the fb 80 record is made for fastest round the world.
Has two have more fuel onboard.

[TimJMS]

Gentry Eagle has it soundly thrashed in the scheme of awesomeness.

80 tonnes, 112 feet LOA, 2X MTU sequentially turbocharged diesels @ 3480hp each and 1 Textron Lycoming marine turbine @ 4500hp.

70knots flat out and will hold 8,000 gallons of fuel.
