New Concept Outboard power goes inboard Searay Venture 370

Take a look at this ground breaking concept boat which will be released next year. The outboard engines are hidden inside the boat out of site and out of the way from fishing lines, although used on a cabin cruiser it is good idea for fishing boats.

I remember that Boat Test Video, I thought it was just a concept but it seems Searay are going ahead with the idea. It's a testament to the efficiency advantages that outboards have over Z-Drives, yet extremely surprising to see on a 37 foot cruiser!

Outboards are the future for boating even up to 40ft
