With a very cool style, the Australian-designed centre console Stealth powercat leisure craft is capable of over 50 knots
The Stealth by PPC Marine is a meticulously designed and expertly crafted vessel that truly sets itself apart in terms of style, performance, and cruising capabilities. The iconic centre console helm design catamaran has been built with careful consideration given to its stylish lines, large open entertainment areas, and easy access to side decks and the foredeck, making it an ideal choice for those seeking both luxury and functionality.
With a length overall (LOA) of 50 feet (15 meters) and a beam of 4 meters, the catamaran hulls draw only 0.6 metres. The Stealth boasts a spacious and well-thought-out layout. The construction features a fibreglass composite with Vinylester resin, ensuring durability and strength. Even at a lightship displacement of 10,000 kilograms, the boat maintains impressive performance capabilities.
The Stealth is powered by twin 600 horsepower V12 Mercury Verado Next Gen 4-stroke engines, equipped with a two-speed transmission and counter-rotating propellers. These revolutionary advancements in handling and control enable exceptional performance and fuel efficiency, taking your boating adventures to new heights. Whether you’re cruising at a comfortable 30 knots or pushing the limits at a top speed of 50 knots, the Stealth delivers extraordinary range and power. Utilising these technologically advanced high-powered outboards ensures very cost effective annual servicing.
The boat is equipped with convenient features such as docking controls at each side entry, Skyhook functions, and a 6.5 kW Paguro Genset with a 45 dB sound rating. The 3 kW Victron Quattro Inverter Charger ensures reliable power supply, while the 19- inch Simrad screens and Czone Electrical Controls enhance navigation and control capabilities. For your comfort and convenience, the Stealth offers two fridges, 2 ice boxes, an icemaker, a BBQ, sink and cook top.
The Stealth is licensed to carry 22 passengers. The iconic design features curved low-E laminated glass windscreens with a wiper. Inside the vessel, you’ll find three cabins, each with double bed and ensuite, and fully air-conditioned for your comfort. The Stealth has 3 double size sunbeds of premium upholstery and hand-laid Burmese teak floors create a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. A large dining table forward of the helm seats 8 people in style. The boat is also equipped with a JL Sound System featuring two amps, a subwoofer, and four channels, providing an immersive audio experience. Additionally, the boat features six Gen 4 Aqualuma underwater lights, adding to its visual appeal.
The design of the Stealth draws inspiration from Class 1 Offshore Race Boat Hulls, which have proven their performance efficiency and economy even at speeds exceeding 130 knots. This updated design offers a perfect balance of speed, luxury, and functionality, with a standard two-cabin layout capable of accommodating four people comfortably. There are also service areas in each bow, with the option for an additional skipper’s cabin if desired (described as 3rd cabin).
It’s worth noting that the Stealth is designed and built in Australia, a testament to the high standards of craftsmanship and expertise associated with the Australian marine industry. Each new owner will be involved in the customised client build experience with the factory.
