it’s 219Lt/h and wide open its 234Lt/h.
That’s about a $300 run from Sydney to
Pittwater and back at 50kts. Hey, that’s
cheaper than a track day at Phillip
Island and probably more fun.
Cruising around at a more sedate
24kts fuel use is 44Lt/h for a range of
265nm.
Maybe emphasising the enjoyment
of speed this boat can deliver in bulk
isn’t the right way to define the new
Brig. There’s more to it than just a
Costco-sized adrenalin fix.
For many owners, a big inflatable
can be their ultimate dayboat and
the big Brig offers family time on

the water relaxing, towing water

toys, swimming, diving, fishing and

lunching in a favourite bay. There’s

no need to be precious about it either.

Spill a drink and deckwash it away.

And compared to a big cruiser the fuel

bill is considerably less as long as the

Verados aren’t kicking the rev limiters

all day.

Price as tested with the T-top,

Simrad, Fusion sound and big

Verados is $299,700, which may sound

expensive but compared to similar-

sized centre consoles with twin

engines it stands up well.

OPPOSITE Antifouled, this 10 is destined for a life in the water but you could dry stack yours.
TOP DOWN A neat table slots between the rear lounges for entertaining; Inside the console
resides a head and plenty of storage; Under the bow sunpad lives the sleeping quarters.

The new Brig extends the versatility

of the range by providing a head and

overnight accommodation. It’s a

perfect choice for places like Sydney

Harbour, the Broadwater and the

Whitsundays where fast travel and

loads of room add to dayboating

enjoyment.
