Well, well, well. Who’d a thunk? An outboardpowered—or should we say outboardPOWERED—sportster from the folks at Tiara Yachts historically known for either the tried-and-true straight-shot inboard or, over the past few years, the joystick-enabled Volvo Penta IPS pod drive
Standard issue for the new Tiara 38 LS (Luxury Sport), according to a recently published standards list, are triple 350-horsepower Yamaha F350s. Who’d a thunk indeed.
What kind of speed are we talkin’ here? A recent Yamaha test report puts the 38’s top hop at a rousing 48.3 knots and her cruise velocity at an equally rousing 30.3 knots. Fuel consumption at the two velocities—97.8 gph and 40.9 gph respectively—gives the boat, by our calculations, a range of about 146 nautical miles at WOT and approximately 220 nautical miles at cruise. Not bad for a dayboat that pushes the popular center-console design, with its predictably symmetrical layout, into entirely new and exciting territory.
