They only made a few twin 480's that topped out at 51 mph per Boating Mag Cover March 2008 ("Fastest, most efficient cruiser ever!" Boat test 2481). Mine had twin Cummins 600 hp with ASD 10's that would push 60 mph that was also rigged by Marker 17 Marine, Brian Forehand.

Mc,
Do you take that bad boy down New River? I spent 11 months at New River MCAS back in 2010 working for Lockheed, and loved boating on New River, ONCE I figured out where to go and NOT to go...

I love it.....I have ridden in a 48 a few times and really like the room and the performance of the boat but the engine noise was too loud for a cruiser....Brian and I had often talked about the answer would be to rig one with outboards.....Congrats to Mat and also to Brian Forehand at Marker 17 for putting together one badazz cruiser

That is not true at marinas here in Miami and in the Bahamas, gasoline is $1.00 more per gallon, I'm pretty sure you aren't taking that beast on a trailer to the local gas station. Running costs in $/mile is double with outboards vs diesels. Not saying wasn't a cool idea what you did, just a lot of misinformation being thrown around here.
