No two Intrepid powerboats are alike. Each is ordered, built and customized one precisely satisfied customer at time. Then it’s backed by the finest owner care program in the industry.
I have been dreaming and looking at many videos and reviews of center console boats. Hydra sports has/had the best over views of their boats, but this one of your guys is right there with them if not a hair better. I seen a lot of your videos prior to this one and they were good one this one by far is your best. Now to the boat. If I won the lotto this is one that I would buy. You have fitted most of the things I would want in a boat like this. Dual 50 gallon wells in the corners is perfect and the additional well is nice to. If I did buy this I would have an additional well in the front also. I like the seat lay at in the back also. Now one thing I would want added to any center console I bought would be a larger than normal hard top. This one covers well but more is what I would ask for. The electric awnings on the back are ok but still doesn't cover enough for me. Anyway great overview of your boat maybe one I can buy one.
Fantastic Design-a TRUE “Panacea”-if ever I saw one! You guys hit a proverbial “Home Run!” with the 407 Panacea’s design (and color scheme) ... stunning! The (electric) folding, forward seat-backs (and electrically actuated table) are exactly the amenities I would have loved to have been able to make use of while boating in Long Island Sound and Coastal New England for the last 30 years! I cannot believe this versatile design has not been employed more widely throughout the Marine Industry! I love the helm area’s unobstructed lines-of-sight and the wonderfully executed interior/cabin (below deck,) just forward of the center console. The leaning-post and aft deck bar/cook-top area is the best system I have yet seen. I LOVE the ice-cube maker and cold beverage storage immediately astern of the helm area-a well-considered design, by people whom have obviously used the products they design-and, I dare say-it would appear that you have listened carefully to the wishes/requests of your Customers (over the years). The dive door and dive ladder, together with the large (vertical) storage lockers up forward, capable of holding fenders and/or dive-tanks, is as seamless a system to accommodate divers as any I have yet seen-particularly for a yacht not designed as a purpose-built dive-boat. Perhaps a fresh or raw-water (pull-out) flushing hose could be incorporated into the very functional, covered bow anchor locker; in this way, mud and other sea-bed sediments-seaweed and sea-grasses, et cetera-may be flushed off the anchor-along with the salt-prior to returning the anchor to its very secure storage location. I particularly like the anchor chain tether, which is built in to the anchor storage compartment; a very secure system, it would appear!
Mark: I left a comment on a previous Intrepid video review by your company. In all seriousness, this is simply the nicest all purpose boat, design & layout of form and function. Tremendous job by your engineers and builders. If I ever win the lottery, it would be boat I'd buy, hands down. It's basically already handicapped accessible. About the only thing I would have get would some additional grab rails. Can't get simpler than that! Truly one fine machine and boat. William ~
It's the 5.3 litres big block DOHC 32-valve engine with 350 HP and nothing else, burning 31,7 gal/hr or 120,5 litres/hr @ 6000 RPM, noising 98 dba. The above mentionned 557 HP is a goldilocks dream. Regards Kurt.
On this video, it's the supercharged version with 6,2 litres and 557 prop shaft HP, 376 ci, 5500 RPM, Bore x Stroke 4.065 x 3.622 in (103.25 x 92mm), weight 497 kg (1094 lb), now we have got it, thanks Max. Regards Kurt.
This could be the future of boating more light weight than Yamaha And Mercury, And has enough power for twins to run 40+ feet insted of triple or quad!
