FPB 78 Video: Quiet-As Cochise

quietcochise

The already quiet FPB 78 is now almost silent in powerboat terms, with some exhaust system refinements. As we continue to fine-tune, the boat will get even quieter. Take a look at the short video below, shot on an iPhone as we were powering up to Whangeroa last night.

    Hi Steve,
    This question comes from your previous post’s great room pictures. I am curious as to your thought process for choosing a glass top, non fiddled, table with corners that look like they would really hurt upon serious impact. I didn’t see any handy grab rails in the immediate vicinity of the table.
    Best regards, Jono

    There are staple rails, overhead man lines, and nearby grab rails. Tables are a compromise and this allows you to slide in, and eat comfortably. Works for us…so far.
