Boating & Outdoor Photos - Calcutta 390 Power Cat (outboard Model )

We are getting ready to launch the first Calcutta 390 . The boat is powered by a pair of Yamaha 350 outboards. It also has a new seating arrangement that offers seating for 6 adults at the helm station . We will update the thread as we sea trial next week. All of the performance numbers will be posted as well. This model has sparked a great amount of interest for us. Until now we had only built the 36 model with inboard outboards . Enjoy the pics.

We just recieved an e-mail from the captain of the Golden Shadow , private research vessel, I thought I would share it. They are doing a 3 year expedition on worldwide coral reef health. They use the 36 Calcutta as their dive vessel . The boat is loaded and unloaded onto a 220 foot mother ship daily.

The last 2 photos are from the Galapagos Islands.


Hi Steve,
Well it’s been a busy month but we have finally arrived into Tahiti.
It’s been nonstop since May really, with the transit from Miami and the research in Galapagos.

The research went well and we experienced some of the best diving ever.
I’ve attached a few pics.

Boat went really well and it was full to capacity with 24persons and dive equipment for everyone x 2!
The boys have really got the operations down to a tee now and it is running smoothly

Hope you like the pictures anyway!

All the best

Steve

looks beautiful- post more pic's

Very nice. We're going to need more pics though. :grin:

boner

I saw this while they were building it. This thing is massive and the pics don't do it justice. The hard top is bigger than most peoples living room. The 263 looks like a small dingy sitting beside it.

Very impressive!

Beautiful boat.....any idea on the performance numbers?

Very nice. I wish you guys would build a 31 like my 26. With the Gulf chop, a 31 would be ideal. Super nice work. Big departure from what you guys have been doing. Very envious.

It looks more like a snooty yacht tender than a research dive boat. ;?

just wait until the first dive tank chip on the gelcoat!
JK. That is one sweet looking boat. Cost and fuel burn?

OH HELL NAW...Thats bad ass..

Amazing fit and finish.

Any performance numbers? Looks really heavy, even with 700hp.

Wow. That thing is beautiful!

Hello gorgeous!


...Looks like it needs some LED's :grin:

looks truly well fabricated ............ and mega solid ...........

That they are, real curious to see what the performance is with the 350's.

Looks awesome!! Can't wait to see some #'s

I saw a Calcutta Cat at the Miami boat show. Very impressive. Great fit and finish. Awesome boat. One of these days.

Wow! :o :o :o

Beautiful boat maybe to fancy for fishing though. As many others have asked I am curious to know how she performs with only two 350's

on the way to the water

wow!!:o

I saw one of these 36s in Grand Isle this summer, and the sheer size is staggering. Pictures do it no justice whatsoever. Massive. And beautifully finished. You guys build a really nice boat. I'm still waiting for the 32...

And the msrp is_______________?

I HAVE WOOD! Needs Seven Marine 557s

It's hard to make a pair of 350's look small. That thing must be huge in person.

Managed to sneak over to the dock before she left town. Snapped a couple wide angle pics.

Absolutely beautiful boat but..twin 350 yamis look tiny on that beast. Looking forward to seeing performance reports.

Btw, who chose audiopipe speakers and a 2kw dome on a 400k boat?

Skinny Water... I wish you hadn't done that...

Now that's big pimp'n!!! Amazing ride.

I'd love to see it in person. Awesome.

Don't understand the dome/spotlight placement. Seems like that would be a problem. ;?

That shower on the back of the TTop is sick. Im guessing there's a soft water line pulled inside the main support tube? id love to see more pictures on this thing. That helm setup is perfect for long runs with a bunch of guys.

Tortuga,
Is there any chance you are playing with stretching the 263 to a 30?

I was thinking the same exact thing.... ;?

Jesus, pretty impressive boat. Will defenetly consider looking at this when shopping for a new boat

If you owned Audiopipe you would put Audiopipe speakers on your boat too. BTW they sound great and rock.

Here are some shots of the delivery and the new owners on their first trip around Biscayne Bay.

OMG that top is massive.

Come check out this boat at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show Oct. 25-29th. We will be on the C dock. Hope to see some of yall there!

I read through the thread and still haven't seen any numbers posted!!?? What kind of fuel burn, crusing speed and wot?

THAT...is bad ass. :thumbsup:

The performance and fuel burn are as follows.


WOT 43 MPH @ 5900

25 mph 1.2 mpg
31 mph 1.1 mpg
34 mph 1 mpg

that was with full fuel and water and a clean gel coat bottom .

I would imagine the painted bottom will take off a tenth at least.

Its not too bad considering the 14 foot beam , sleeps four with enclosed separate head area and almost 40 foot LOA.

Not much to compare it to considering the boat would swallow almost anything in the outboard market. I know the 36 Grady express with twin 350's is comparable in performance but we still get better fuel consumption.

That new 40ft freeman with quads owns this boat! justsayn

The Calcutta 390 is in the water at the Lauderdale boat Show C Dock . Hope to see some THT ers there.

Completely 2 different cats :bashhh:

Hatter :trout:

Love boths :thumbsup:

You are out of your mind. Both are awesome boats and are completely different with the exception of the cat hull. It is obvious by your statement that you have never stepped foot on a big Calcutta.

Absolutely amazing! It seems like it was over ten years ago when I first saw a Calcutta in a KF tourney out of John's Pass. Been a fan ever since!

I'll have to say, the Audiopipe speakers Steve installed on my Calcutta sound amazing paired with the Fusion and no amp. I haven't heard any better yet.

Preety

This has got to be the best looking boat I've ever seen.

That is one bad daddy! No outriggers?

That is one bad daddy! No outriggers?

No need... The boat is sooo wide they don't need spreaders!! Haha

Huge boat!! Saw it at the boat show!! Very nice!!
