Performance
- Smooth transition to planing speed.
The Outback 50’s optimal speed/length ratio of 1.7:2.1, results in a very small “hump” between 12.5 and 15 knots as she transitions from displacement mode to planing mode.
- Minimal trim angle.
The Outback 50’s Trim Angle curve peaks at a comfortable 2 degrees and flattens as the speed increases. The deck angle never gets too far from level, resulting in uncompromised visibility over the bow.
- Fuel Efficiency
The Outback 50 hull operates comfortably throughout its desired speed range without excessive power or fuel. The speed-power curve illustrates the potential of the boat in loaded condition with a very modest twin-engine package.
- Cruising Range
Cruising on a full tank at 15-20+ knots, the Outback 50 has a range of several hundred miles – almost twice the range of other yachts her size using the same amount of fuel. Throttling back to 8 knots yields a range of approximately 1000 miles.
