Propulsion in both cases is pods, but with the Cummins you get the ZF and the Volvo features its own made IPS drives.  Hull one was powered with twin Cummins 600hp reaching wide open throttle speeds of 30 knots.

Project: Fairline 48 Targa GT

A further evolution of the new Fairline 48 hull, which is powered by IPS pods and is to be offered in three different variants; Targa Open, Targa GT, and Squadron.  The 48 Targa GT is very similar to the Open version, but while at it Fairline tweaked more the coach roof design, extended the hard top even further, and also created new side windows profile.  The main difference between this and the Open is that the main deck is divided in half by a two part patio door making the fore part a more cosy enclosed affair. For the rest the 48 Targa GT is similar to its other sister, with a layout choice of two or three cabins, and also a galley located below.  Power is twin Volvo 435hp with IPS pod drives.

Improve-it = Carolina Classic 35

Carolina Classic has been very quiet in recent years in presenting new models, so when this small volume high quality US builder recently launched its 35 feet flagship with some improvements it was fair to give them some space on PowerYachtBlog.  This latest Carolina Classic 35 was recently launched with a new hard top design more extended then to the original.  This just launched 35 is powered by twin Cummins 550hp giving a nice cruise of 31 knots, and the solid ride this US builder is associated with.  The Carolina Classic 35 is the flagship of a four model line up of well build sportfish cruisers which start at 25 feet.  The 35 features a two plus two interior layout with a forward berth, L-shaped saloon, galley, and separate head.  The cockpit features a free aft deck space, with two step higher area offering a large L-shaped lounger, and the helm station to starboard. Her hull is a full solid fiberglass build something rare these days, and the V-shape keel with fine sharp entry closes at eighteen degrees aft.

Project: Uniesse 95 Sport

Uniesse showcases the project of another super yacht this time of sports nature, the 95 Sport.  This very quality labelled Italian builder for its Sport line flagship, presents modern looks of round shape and flybridge which integrates well into the design but will be as these renderings suggest visible from the outside.  The standard layout of the bridge offers a large helm settee for four person located in the middle, a wet-bar behind it, and a large sun pad, all this located centrally.  The main deck saloon of the 95 is dedicated for the most part for entertainment excluding the helm to port side, and a small galley to starboard.  Here you have a large C-shaped saloon, a dining table for eight, and another small C-shaped dinette which I cannot actually fully understand its purpose.  Below is space for four cabins sleeping eight guests with the large owners staterooms located amidships, and the VIP suite queen sized berth looking to starboard.  A galley and crew lobby, plus two cabins served with one shower head are located amidships infront of the engine room, and behind the owners cabin.  Power is standard twin MTU 2217hp, and optional 2334 units.  A 32 knots top speed is estimated from the standard engines.

New Model: Hatteras 100 Raised Pilothouse

A super Hatteras of eighty feet plus, is always something special as this company has in the eighties dominated the high part of the market back in the days.  Come luxury tax in the nineties and Hatteras has in latest years not build much super yachts over one hundred feet.  The Hatteras 100 Raised Pilothouse is a return from the World famous Carolina boat builder in building a one hundred foot super yacht.  As recent Hatteras in the Motor Yachts range the 100 Raised Pilothouse features an inspired European looking super structure, thanks to a collaboration with Italian designer Enrico Gobbi from Team for Design, though fair to say the hull still looks US with its flared bow, and reverse shear line in the middle.  From the order book the 100 Raised Pilothouse offers some interesting options to the buyer from a master stateroom to fore deck or amidships, or optional tender garage to aft.  In total the new Hatteras flagship offers a total of seven layouts; two for the flybridge, three for the main deck, and two for below cabin area arrangements.  Power is twin Cat 1900 as standard, or optional 2600hp MTU.

Project: Carver C40

New for the fall of 2013, is the Carver C40 a smart flybridge cruiser which rightly so follows on the footsteps of the C34 in the looks department.  Offering a two double cabins layout below, the C40 as shown previously with its small C34 sister manages to create a nice mix of modern lines, with a classic vibe to them, making it one of the looking Carver's in some time.  Some interesting details are the flash fore deck, built in stairway from the aft deck to the flybridge, fully opening patio door creating a nice one level area between outside and inside, and a living located on the main deck with below fully dedicated to the twin cabins.  An option also exist to have a lower helm station, this making boating viable all year round or when it is raining.  Interesting the lower helm option does not eat any space from the C-shape dinette from the standard layout so it is definitely a bonus to have. Power is standard twin 306 or optional 380hp Cummins engines with V-drive line shaft propulsion.

New Model: Austin Parker 64 Fly

Born as a 62 Fly project, the Austin Parker 64 completes the range in the upper sizes of this Italian builder.  Second in size only to the Austin Parker 72, the new 64 Fly continues the elaboration of the line as a modern lobster boat, as seen by renowned Italian architect Fulvio de Simoni.  Unlike the smaller models the large Austin Parkers look as much a motor yacht as they do traditional down East lobster boat and this theme is continued in the 64 Fly.  So if you think that some motor yacht have become to modern a tip is to have a look at the large Austin Parkers.  Accommodation the 64 Fly offers three large double cabins, with an owners stateroom located amidships.  The VIP suite located to fore is also very spacious thanks to the angled berth resting on the port sides. A third double cabin and a day head are located in between the two cabins.  A crew cabin with a single berth, shower head, and a desk space is located to amidships in between the owners cabins and the engine room. A split level saloon features a lounging sofa on entrance, and a dining and galley located on the fore part behind the helm station to starboard.  Power is twin MAN 1200hp engines with a top speed of 32 knots.
