The World’s Largest Wrapped Boat?
The 60' sportfish QuadZeus in action.
Click on the picture for a full-size view. There are two stories at work here. First off, this is the demo boat for Cummins MerCruiser’s QuadZeus propulsion set-up, which debuted at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show last fall. The boat is the first to employ four pod drives, powered by four Cummins MerCruiser Diesel QSC8.3-liter 600-hp engines. The idea is to provide unprecedented maneuverability for a 60′ boat. The results? We missed Lauderdale, but we’re checking it out at the upcoming Miami Boat Show.
The other story is that this may be the largest graphics wrap ever on a boat. “We bought it as a test boat,” explained Clay Gaillard of Cummins. “It was just a naked shell.”
When they decided to run that boat at Ft. Lauderdale, they realized they needed to dress it up. So they decided to wrap it. They got together to Image Monster and artist Steve Goione to create a wrap big and bold enough to make a 60-footer look good.
Whether its the biggest wrapped boat of all time is not definite but one thing is, it looks pretty cool.
