With a lot of attention currently on the big centre consoles of around fifteen meters or more powered by the new 2021 presented 600hp Mercury, Volvo turns it around and collaborates with Solace for a stern drive powered twelve meter centre console. The twelve meter size has been the bread and butter for the outboard expansion the past years, so Volvo trying to gather interest in this section of the market is not a combination of events. Enters the Solace 415 CS, the sterndrive inboard version of the 41 CS. The advantages for stern drives are known, from a clear uncluttered transom area to better consumption offered by the diesel inboards which compared to the triple outboard 41 offers according to preliminary data fifty per cent less fuel use and a range up to 497 nautical miles. It will be interesting if we see other builders follow Solace and offer diesel sterndrive inboards on some of the bigger centre consoles.
