Editor-in-Chief Dan Harding recently got behind the helm of the HCB 65 Estrella. With quint 627-hp Seven Marine outboards, this is one beast of a boat you won’t want to miss.
At 30 knots each burns 60 litres an hour, rising to 220 litres per hour at 40 knots ($900/hour in fuel burn for all 5 engines at today's prices). The engines cost $90,000 each retail, considerably less when you're buying 5 at once.
My 300 Mercury verado gets 32 gph at wide open throttle. So yeah. I'm sure this thing is drinking fuel like a top fuel dragsters. Might as well call it a fuel barge . Lol
@@scdevon where did you come up with 80 each? Do you know that's what they burn, or you guessing? Sounds way high to me. I would guess about 160 for all of them at 3/4 throttle, but I could be wrong
@@davo85iz0 I was going by this test. boatingnz.co.nz/articles/power-to-thrill-7-marine-627s/ A pair of 627s on a 35 ft Everglades. 220 liters per hour each at 40 knots. Not an apples to apples test, but the proportions shouldn't be far off. 70 gallons an hour x 5 = ~350 gph. Fuel consumption seems to rise at insane rates with increased speed. At full throttle, it seems like all bets are off.
I bet if you put 87 octane you could make it on say $16.50 per hour as long as you stick around and make that last pizza delivery counting on extra tips every night.
@@scdevon Wow, that's insane. After watching, I would put it somewhere in between our figures. But, your right. I was way off. I couldn't believe it said 30 kts= 60 Lph and 40 kts was 220Lph
I'll never be able to afford such a vessel, so I ask this out of pure curiosity...but what good is that much horsepower on a hull that can only do 55mph when the best you're gonna do fuel wise 148 gph? With a couple of inboard turbo-diesels you could probably double or triple the range and still cruise fast enough to get where you need to go. I can appreciate that anyone with the money thinks nothing of it, but is there any practical point to this?
I'm not a boat guy but can someone tell me why one of these Seven Marine engines costs as much or more than the entire Corvette Car that they're based on & taken from?
@@theadventurebiker I think they are just really proud of the lower unit....other than that I think its just a dry sump supercharged ls.....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠
Get rid of the stack of outboards and install a couple of good diesel inboards........It'll still be a 'center console', yes???? So it won't do 52-knots (the company's goal).........I'd be happy with 30-35 knots.......
don't get the expensive outboard thing you can pick up a couple built v8's for under 10,000 - same power less gas, less weight, better weight distribution
Every video I see of this boat there are people complaining about fuel. If you can afford a $3 million boat, the cost of fuel and maintenance probably doesn’t mean as much.
I like it but i think it needs another engine.
but seriously
Card Bug 🤣🤣🤣
It needs 5 or 6 merc v12s
@@davelowesky8054 And why would it need mercury‘s?
@@theo2460 are you trolling me or do you just know nothing about boating?
because they’re without a doubt making the best outboard engines?

That is such a beautiful boat. I love the clean gaugeless console.
The Spruce Goose of Center Consoles.
Dale Groves Yes my good man...but, no other man toy can goose your spruce with mermaids like this
Real professional with no wind guard on mic
How does the milage compare to the Wartsila RT Flex96 diesel. Which consumes 1,666 gallions of D4 diesel fuel an hour. At 102 rpm?
You should get a 26 foot wide gill bracket and put like 12 engines on there 👍
Beautiful center console
Are any of the propellers counter-rotating to offset the torque-roll?
What a beauty!
Great wind noise
I couldn't afford the fuel to go take a boat ride in this🤣
Perfect for Montauk catch some monsters with that thing
Those motors sound sweet
Does Seven Marine still do servicing for these engines?
What was the point with al that wind noise?
The new 425 Yami’s rock but I sticking with SEVENS GlennFHoward
My questions are: 1)How would you know if a motor is running bad? 2)Is there room to add more motors, maybe 2 more?
Sean Riley 1: he has that whole control panel probably electric. 2: no
Nothing exceeds like excess.
My 300 Mercury verado gets 32 gph at wide open throttle. So yeah. I'm sure this thing is drinking fuel like a top fuel dragsters. Might as well call it a fuel barge . Lol
Damn, you gotta make at least 17.50 per hour to afford a boat like that!

So how many inches per gallon do you get
Put it in reverse full power, see if you can rip the transom off...now that would be fun.
Lee Vogel lo
Why does it look like it’s listing port side?
Cool boat but that wind noise in your mic is a deal breaker

Fill’er Up...
Man the fuel that thing would go throw lol.
That wake is huge
A bit over the top but I’m going for it!
Looks like it has a cabin??
Any free samples?
$500K in just motors
more than that a lot more
Talk money. One motor is over eighty grand without installation and accessories.
@@joejoemama4844 How so? got a link? $100,000 each seems about right

HCB is old Hydrasports boats look at suenos 53 and add 12 ft and another $750000 to price probably 30 gal a hour each motor 150 total roughly JT
Y'all need one of those furry mike covers for the wind noise.
Motors sound like jets
What's the point? Oh wait, I get it. This boat was built for the remake of McHale's Navy. When will you install the guns?
Need This Speed Boat for go to Nusa Penida Bali
Are cabin cruisers dead? It has to suck when the elements are less favorable.
Let’s see the fuel consumption stats.
Just for shits and giggles
Michael Edge 😂😂
Michael Edge Picture a burning oil field. 😂
1800 gal fuel cap. Do they have financing at fuel dock?
Michael Edge You dont really want to see that. Ill guess half gallon per mile.
If you can afford a boat like that fuel consumption is the least of their concerns lol.
I don't know about that. The center console in my truck is pretty big too! lol
It's like a 65' bass boat, only a bass boat will go even faster with only 1 engine.
Thinking about getting my mom one of these for her birthday,just don't know which color.
He need to level the boat straight ! Boat leaning to port side !!
One 7 marine 627 outboard engine cost $90,000.
How much to fill up the fuel tank?
Gipz from empty id guess like 13grand
Please How price
Curious how many gallons per mile this thing consumes.
Where's the fishing poles? 😂
In your pants silly boy
I was looking for the KITTY CAT!?
If you can afford a boat like this than you can afford the fuel! DARWIN!
Think of how many body's Dexter could've dumped overboard if he'd had this beast!
bermudaguy1 lol
Can reach 70knots ?
Holy crap.
How much
I'll keep my 13 whaler. 😀. Let's see this boat do haulover inlet on a rough day
Are you serious? This boat would fly through Haulover
Haha
Dang bro
That is a ton of maintenance!
Nothing is a ton of maintenance when you're rich.
how much...
The fact that is not inboard is what makes it more appealing...but i would prefer 4 engines instead of 5
Yes, diminishing returns having the 5th motor.
🥶
Fuel consp : 600 litres / hour
Camera man has a thing for big outboards
wtf what's wrong with these dudes that got a sausage party on that boat😂😂😂
Ike Swp probably gayers
This is feel
Oh lawd.
and yet how do many pay for gas in cars it's cheaper to own a boat then house and car and also you can go to many places b4 a fill up
2 gallons per feet, burning cash
Hi guys I'm looking for cheoy Lee ketch project is okay to if you know any please let me know thanks 👍🙏..
This guy with 3100+ hp and I just want a 250 n I’ll be over the moon
Maravilha..!!!!
I bet it's great on gas.
No room for people....need it all for fuel.
$450k in engines alone 😮😮
All fun & games till you hit a floating chunk of log.....
Lots of Tailweight needs lots of Payload. Perfect für Narcos. Maybe a Gasguzzler but in a sort of business just a matter of auxillary tank sets.
Would it have killed them to use a muffle on that mic? Sheesh.
I don’t even understand why anyone would want this!
mega yacht tender
craiger king lol
When money is not a factor, items like this are but a toy to the person. It’s psychological my young man
Maxumized I’m not a man so yeah I don’t get it 😂
Plenty of money but still no desire for ostentatious & unnecessary things.
Needs more power, 60 MPH top speed with 3000+ hp??? Needs about 5000 HP to cruise at 60 with top speed 90. Now that would be exciting.
my guy hydrasports are way too fucking bow heavy for that, plus its a 65 foot yacht. All their boats have a hull speed around 60-70 mph
Fuel...
Little Cessnas land at higher speeds than that.
60 is pretty damn quick for a boat. This difference is going 60 in 8ft swells and not feeling a thing
Ok, a bit excessive but what the hell. Serious Chick bait at the Islamorada Sandbar.
👍👍👍👍
Vid makes it look like you gotta be super skinny to walk past cockpit...LOL!
impressive power however, not much room between console and side of boat>
Из Сочи до Турции 10 минут?)
What is the point of this??
Marina clout?
Those engine are 90 THOUSAND EACH!
Good lord almighty
After I win the Lotto max $70000000 tonight I will order one!

dsn1964 for over a 2 million dollar center console it should go 90
Can somebody please buy this guy a microphone windscreen?
@Cinnabon Box Chevy yip, reporters use them during hurricanes, do they not?
The winds noise is a great addition to the video......not!!!
I would hate to buy gas for that boat
don't get the expensive outboard thing you can pick up a couple built v8's for under 10,000 - same power less gas, less weight, better weight distribution
I agree with you 100% my v-drive runner bottom sold me forever on efficiency......from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠
It cost at least 2.5 to 3 m. for this boat.
Every video I see of this boat there are people complaining about fuel. If you can afford a $3 million boat, the cost of fuel and maintenance probably doesn’t mean as much.
Why wouldn’t you just get a 65ft Viking or spencer? Why a center console?
Как же они поют 👍
40.4 mph@ 4000 rpm 148 gph
In Tz shiling
Minced fish anyone?
I couldn’t afford the fuel this thing consumed
