Cougar Viper 34' Custom Ultra High Performance Sportsboat For Sale with Vivid Blue Marine.
Uniting a Cougar Powerboat race proven hull with two Evinrude G2 300hp new engines to provide 600hp of power, and then equipping her lavishly with the latest technology, the designer set out to create an ultra high performance sportsboat (600hp - 70mph plus), with a layout in which people can socialise in absolute comfort, yet also have fun at sea. The result was spectacularly successful sea trials during which the boat, without further trimming, easily achieved 70 MPH and cruised at a comfortable 55 MPH. The boat can also be up-powered to 900HP at which power level 100MPH would be entirely achievable. All engineering work has been undertaken by high performance specialist and successful powerboat racer, John Donnelly of the highly regarded John Donnelly Racing, who can be consulted about any future modifications. Socially, and fantastically, at the press of a button, at rest, the foredeck rises to reveal an elegant social snug with seating laid out in a U shape, dressed with hand-stitched John Elderfield upholstery. There is even a discreet head and handbasin. It's the perfect place to sit at anchor or alongside to socialise and come to terms with the exhilaration of the ride so far. The boat's cockpit has bucket seats for four and a bench seat for two aft. Aft of the bench seat there is a bathing platform. A ladder could be fitted to the buyer's specifications. Similarly aids to boarding can be fitted as required. This vessel is equipped with state of the art electronics including the wonderful Evinrude iDock docking system (shown in the video) which will bring you alongside simply by gentle manipulation of a joystick (a computer does the tricky calculations). At rest, guests and crew can move forward to the luxury of the foredeck snug and enjoy the stitched luxury upholstery social snug and overwhelming sense of well-being. Underway, the cockpit is equipped with the deepest of bucket seats and an aft bench seat for passengers, coupled with state-of-the-art marine electronics, all designed to provide exhilarating passage making capability, coupled with proven Cougar hull offshore capability. Whether it be a a mid-throttle whoosh from the Hamble to The Hut at Colwell Bay, or a cross channel zoom from the Solent to Cherbourg for a Michelin starred super at Le Pily, the Cougar Viper provides a broad spectrum of capability, with the Evinrude G2 engines only using fuel at a modest rate. The engines have only run up 10 hours for sea trials and are sold 'as new' with full warranty transferring to the purchaser. This applies to all other technology aboard. The designer and owner has asked that the contributors to the creation of this amazing vessel are acknowledged: - Cougar Powerboats for the build of the hull and years of design experience - Evinrude for building spectacular engines - Richard Hawthorne at Aristocrat Signs for wonderful graphics - Kevan Cozens at RS Composites for construction work - John Donnelly of JDR Racing for making the engineering work - John Elderfield for the hand-stitched upholstery - Flooring by Wasserdek flooring - Electronics by Raymarine - Stereo equipment by Marathon Leisure

EVINRUDE iDOCK
iDOCK is a joystick controlled docking system which uses advanced aircraft gyroscope sensor technology. This makes makes iDock more intuitive to pilot by automatically compensating for wind and current.
Evinrude’s G2 engines can be easily vectored in different directions to produce the thrust needed for sideways movement. All that needs to change in terms of the steering mechanism is that the hydraulic fluid in each hose will no longer be pumped in a synchronized direction, as each side will have a different agenda. Likewise, engine speed and direction will be independent of each other, which, like the steering, gets its direction from the software within the joystick housing.
