You will also make better time for you will not be on and off the gas, nor losing pace when punching into it, nor running over the one in front coming downhill. The main one is that you will not get weary from driving, for you do not get on and off the throttle so regularly as to give you RSI. Offshore and the level of torque is virtually Diesel like, yet with the responsiveness of a petrol donk. It will also be quieter, by virtue of not having to work anywhere near as hard to get you where you want to go, as the torque curve is empirical proof of. The reasons are that it will deliver real world punch at suitable revs, and drink only as it needs, which is pretty miserly considering what you get. This engine, or multiples thereof, is ideally suited to use in boats looking for range, the ability to heft around decent mass, and ease of operation for prolonged periods of time. You could even argue that it is a lot quieter than some of the new generation of power plants. Normally the squeal of the supercharger would be really obvious, but alas, this is not so. Here, in tight proximity, you get to fully appreciate just how quiet it is. That kind of predictability equates to complete safety in the end. We were doing turns inside itself, and into its own wake, and it was actually begging for more. Because the Nizpro Marine 450S is spinning such a big wheel with loads of pitch, in combination with the torque, you find yourself not digging a hole, as the screw finds new water. Now just on that point of turn-in, and one of the most memorable aspects of driving this package is that you can play into the corners so beautifully. Terrific turn in, and the torque of the Nizpro 450s just keeps you going, with no drop in revs. This also goes for the mounting height, and also the space off the transom, for you can also order a more streamline bulb (low water nose cone) on the leading edge of the leg. Naturally you will have far more down plane out in the big blue. She is very susceptible to trim for both take off, high-speed flight, and aggressive turn ins. Nizpro work with you to set up the correct package in terms of mounting, and also prop, so you won’t have to nut that one out for yourself. Fitted with twin 450S’, given they have the same hung mass, and it would be an entirely electric package.īecause of the torque, our boat spun a four-blade, 15x22 inch screw with ease. More responsive, lighter by 290kg, certainly more economical, and I reckon the top speeds would be comparable, let alone the all-important cruising velocity. Whilst an undeniably pleasurable craft, I could not help thinking that powered by even just the one of Nizpro’s 450S gems it would have been even better. The other example came in the form of a Brig 10m with twin 300 Yamahas fitted that was also on demonstration, and I drove this both inshore and off.

Using the full quotient does virtually require the use of seatbelt.īrig 8m Eagle powered by Nizpro Marine 450s - your very own 50-knot, waterborne theme park. I used around 2700RPM, and it was more than fine. We were four up, and two of us alone easily accounted for 200 kilos of the payload. It was absolutely not a case of whacking in full herbs, and then throttling back once on the plane. I had a jet skit beside us during our test, and I just planted it to instantly dispose of them into our wake.īy way of examples, I was using less than three grand to pop out from scratch in the Brig Eagle 8m that Sirocco Marine North had laid on for their recent Brig Day Out. You understand that, and you will fully comprehend the earlier statement about never going back. #1 - It is power that makes you fast, but it is torque that makes you quick! What that all means is that the former gives you outright dash whereas the latter is all about the way you get there. My Axopar 24 is unreal now, and we have gone from a 40-knot boat to one that does 60 knots. Obviously, the faster you go the more you burn, but at comparable speeds it is way better.
At 30 to 40 knots we are using 10% less fuel. I have had a big improvement in fuel economy too. We give it a fair old flogging when we get in it too, and it has proven to be a wonderful investment.” Given that a lot of people are swapping out to V8s, I wondered if the noise of the supercharger might be affecting Richards, or his guests? “No. “She is super smooth, and I’ve been really, really impressed. Awesome fun as an all round day boat - Brig 8m Eagle and Nizpro marine 450S.
