Fleming 60 Sea Trial & Performance Test | BoatTEST Technical Review Can a twin-engine long-range cruiser outperform traditional single-engine fuel efficiency? In this official BoatTEST sea trial, Captain Dave puts the Fleming 60 through a comprehensive operational test in demanding conditions—facing 15-to-20-knot southeast winds and a wind-against-current outgoing tide. Our test data challenges the industry assumption that single-engine trawlers are inherently more economical. Backed by years of comparative BoatTEST data, we look at how the Fleming 60’s twin propellers move water more efficiently at displacement speeds, reducing engine strain and optimizing fuel burn. We break down the real-world metrics of her twin 800-hp MAN diesel engines, her 1,450-gallon fuel capacity, and her specialized offshore engineering. Fleming 60 Performance & Range Test Data: Most Economical Cruise: 8.3 knots @ 1,000 RPM | 8 gph fuel burn | 1,345 NM range (with 10% reserve) Transatlantic / Transpacific Range: 7.0 knots (optimized for long-range island stops) Day Cruising Speed: 15.2 knots @ 2,000 RPM Wide Open Throttle (WOT): 20.0 knots @ 2,360 RPM Key Specifications & Test Conditions: Length Overall (LOA): 62' 9" Beam: 17' 6" Draft: 5' 0" (Keel-protected propellers) Advertised Displacement: 88,000 lbs Test Load Configuration: Light (50% Fuel, 60% Fresh Water, 30% Black Water) Environmental Data: 86°F, 79% humidity, 15-20 knot winds Full Operational Report: Read our captain's full, unedited written review, view complete fuel-burn charts, sound level decibel readings, and access our comprehensive archive of Fleming assessments here: 👉 https://boattest.com/boats/fleming-yachts/60-2026 Chapters / Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction: The Owner-Operator Long-Range Trawler 1:00 - Specifications & Real-Time Test Conditions 2:25 - Official Performance Data & Range Metrics 3:15 - The Twin vs. Single Engine Fuel Burn Truth 3:55 - Handling, Hull Design, and Stability Matrix 4:58 - Command Center: Lower Helm & Navigation Systems 7:00 - Redundant Safety Layout & SeaZone Controls 7:50 - Foredeck Architecture: Dual Windlasses & Ground Tackle 10:35 - Portuguese Deck & Side Deck Ergonomics 12:15 - Cockpit Layout & Secondary Docking Stations 13:45 - Captain's Quarters & Lazarette Systems Access 16:10 - Engine Room Analytics: MAN Diesels & Fuel Polishing 19:50 - Lithium-Ion Batteries & Zero-Thru stabilizer Systems 21:40 - Summary & Technical Verdict #BoatTEST #FlemingYachts #Fleming60 #TrawlerLife #MarineEngineering #SeaTrial #YachtPerformance #LongRangeCruising #OwnerOperator

The Crest Conquest 220 SE proves there’s far more to a modern pontoon than relaxed cruising and sandbar duty. In our latest Captain’s Report, we put this 22-foot tritoon through a full performance and features evaluation to see how Crest’s engineering translates on the water — and the results genuinely surprised us. Powered with a 115-hp package, the Conquest 220 SE reached an impressive 39 MPH during our sea trial while delivering a remarkably composed, quiet ride. Much of that confidence comes from Crest’s welded WEBB box-beam chassis construction, designed to reduce the flex, rattling, and vibration often associated with boats in this category. In this full review, we break down: • Top speed, acceleration, and handling • Ride quality and onboard comfort • Crest’s lifting strake design and hull performance • Electric-assist steering impressions • Seating layout and social functionality • Construction details and long-term durability • Why the Conquest 220 SE stands out in today’s pontoon market With nearly 70 years of boatbuilding experience behind the brand, Crest continues pushing the category toward a more refined, performance-oriented experience without sacrificing the versatility owners expect from a pontoon.

For the first time, BoatTEST puts the 2026 GranOcean W72 through a full sea trial to verify its performance, fuel efficiency, and structural integrity. Naval architect Howard Apollonio designed this platform with a 32'8" (10 m) beam carried fully forward, creating a stable, high-volume catamaran engineered for long-range cruising and extended time away from the dock. The W72 is built using advanced vacuum-infused, closed-cell foam-cored composite panels with materials from Gurit SP. This construction method ensures a high strength-to-weight ratio, which we put to the test in offshore conditions with winds gusting to 25 knots. Performance Data: Our test boat was equipped with the upgraded twin 1,150-hp Cat C18 diesel inboards (twin 550-hp Cummins are standard). Top Speed: We reached a top speed of 26 knots at 2200 RPM. Cruising Efficiency: At a transition speed of 14.8 knots (1600 RPM), the W72 burns 47 GPH. Long Range: For those prioritizing distance, dropping back to 9.7 knots (1000 RPM) results in a fuel burn of just 12.1 GPH, providing an estimated range of over 1,100 nautical miles from the 1,585-gallon (6,000 L) fuel capacity. Interior & Customization: With custom interiors by Vripack, the W72 is a "blank nautical canvas." The model we tested featured a five-stateroom layout, including three guest suites to port and two VIP suites to starboard. The main deck salon is defined by a single-level layout with a full galley featuring Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances. Owners can further customize the bridge deck with either an open or enclosed flybridge configuration. Features Video Coming Soon!
