Eaglecraft and Mercury Marine asked us to take a look at and test drive a really special machine. A custom built Eaglecraft 38 Cruiser setup with TWIN 600HP Mercury Verados. The first in ALL of Canada.
Needless to say, it was amazing. Join Brendan as he is given a complete overview of the boat and motors from Torry of Eaglecraft and Andy from Mercury Marine. This is a truly special boat built for the West Coast and we had a great time taking it out for a spin.

Brendan, I enjoyed watching you with the Canucks when we lived in the Vancouver area. You were a good asset to the team. Now; I've watched you on this venue, and I am purely impressed. Let's talk about this episode operating that 38 Eaglecraft with those " 600"s ! The most impressive thing I have seen. You are very lucky Brendan, and the most impressive act in your career as a TV personality. Great stuff. Thanks.

I'm a Merc guy to the core and while I know Yamaha doesn't do a bad job with anything they build I just can't help but notice the huge difference in weight and noise when putting the two side by side. The big ass Yamie 425 or whatever they are sounds like a jet boat and Merc no matter what the power is always whisper quiet. When they bolt the compressor on these V12s and put them around 750 or 8 then things will really get fun. Regardless of the thinking behind this 600 it will be funny to watch because there isn't a doubt in my mind that boaters will always cram as many motors as physically possible on the transom. Guess we should get ready for some 75' Center Consoles next season.

@floridasaltamerica4440 Жыл бұрын

Whereas I can’t wait for Yamaha to match up the Merc 600 ‘s. Yea sound is different but how many times I’ve seen the Mercs in the shop with long term issues and my Yamaha keeps on. Just saying I am the “doubting Thomas”needing long term convincing before trading in reliability over quiet. I’m wondering with these engines the overall cost to us regular guys. I hear transmission and cringe.

@jamesbutson6347 Жыл бұрын

Aluminum vs Fiberglass / Kevlar hull is the real difference, plus operating conditions. You see similar boats in Australia. They have better cabins and are often heated due to the colder weather they operate in. Both styles are good, really depends where you are and what meets your needs.

@DarienSeminoff Жыл бұрын

I’m from northern Vancouver island and I always kinda wondered the same thing, until I went to another warmer coast. These boats are meant for what many would consider to be rougher shitty environments, the west coast can be cold and miserable. Somewhere like South Carolina you might wanna be outside when you’re out on your boat cause the weathers nicer.

I think these boats would be brilliant in Australia. My only issue with pretty much every designer these days is the move away from inboards to multiple outboards. Yes the outboards take up less room however the cost per unit - including cost per NM - would always make me doubt the economics of going for the outboards

Brendan ran a kingfisher as his personal boat for about 10 years before even doing Reel West Coast. Kingfisher has sponsored us for years now and we recently just switched to the 3025GFX. We'll be rocking Kingfisher for years to come, we love their boats! Eaglecraft has the same parent company and they wanted us to do a walk through of this special boat and set up and we had to take the opportunity. It was an absolute blast to drive!

An I'm not going to hang out near a gas station so I don't have to paddle. So that said at a comfortable crushing speed fuel efficient speed what is the damn fuel capacity an the range. Cause if it's not sufficient I wouldn't give you not one red cent for it because those two things are the most important thing about that setup. Capacity an range please

@eaglecraft8546 Жыл бұрын

EagleCraft is a custom boat builder. Range and capacity is determined by customers choice of propulsion, design & layout which also determines fuel capacity. Range is 300-500 nmi depending on these factors. 5 different layouts, 3 different beam choices, and 7 propulsion packages are alot variables which determine performance, fuel efficiency, and range. This boat with 600's is the most efficient outboard 38' we have built to date and offers almost 400 nmi range
