Now, you’re bound to ask whether the triple-outboard package is the best way to go. My answer is an emphatic yes. The 1,200 total horsepower appears to be a perfect match for the V44, yielding a quite respectable 50 mph WOT and cruising range of 230 nautical miles. The yacht trims nicely with a nearly level main deck at rest and a maximum one to two degrees of aft trim at speed (depending on engine trim), with a lot of hull bottom contacting the water—except when you want to “trim her out” as you push up to top speed. This means comfortable control in fast, tight turns and a total absence of porpoising at higher speeds in a chop. And she runs soft in a chop with her 20-degree deadrise bottom.
