Hull number one is currently in production and scheduled for completion by Spring 2022.
Invincible, the premium saltwater sport fishing and high-performance boat brand, announced it has begun construction of a new 46' Pilothouse model. Using the same hull as the 46' Catamaran, this enclosed version is the first production model of its kind: a performance catamaran with the comfort of a sportfish and the versatility of an outboard-powered centre console.
'The launch of the 46' Catamaran last year was so successful that we immediately began to explore a pilothouse version to better suit our customers in growth markets such as Australia,' said Ian Birdsall, Vice President of International Business.
The pilothouse, designed by Invincible's Senior Vice President of Engineering Scott Wood, is unlike anything before seen in a fishing catamaran. The interior was designed to overcome several challenges faced by large centre console catamarans including comfortable sleeping berths, a roomier head compartment and climate-controlled protection from the elements for all passengers.
This boat accomplishes all of that with two sleeping berths: one located forward, and one converted using the U-shaped settee. The head is forward of the helm. There are two interior seating layouts. Air conditioning and a generator are standard. The glass partition at the rear of the pilothouse is a power window that can be raised and lowered for communication with fishermen in the cockpit or for more open air. True to Invincible's identity, the pilothouse still features the same 360-degree fishability found across its model lineup.
