MTI 482 Pleasure For Sale

The MTI 482 is Marine Technology Inc.’s 48-foot performance catamaran, sitting between the flagship 52 and the nimble 43 in the RP Pleasure Series. At 11 feet 6 inches beam and approximately 12,000 pounds dry, the 482 carries the family DNA: vacuum-infused composite hull, carbon reinforcement, and a tunnel design refined through decades of offshore racing.nnInboard propulsion distinguishes the 482 from the sterndrive 52 and 43. Engine packages range from the 860-horsepower QC4 Mercury to twin 1,350 and 1,550-horsepower Mercury Racing setups, each running through M6 or M8 drive configurations. The inboard arrangement shifts weight distribution and prop depth compared to sterndrive alternatives, a setup that some owners prefer for sustained high-speed running.nnDual 150-gallon fuel tanks carry 300 gallons total, supporting the kind of day-long runs that MTI owners plan around. Six to eight passengers can be accommodated, and the cabin provides social space and seating that separate the Pleasure Series from MTI’s stripped-down Racing models.nnEvery 482 is built to order at the Wentzville facility, with owner-specified paint, rigging, electronics, and engine package. MTI’s racing heritage is not decoration: the builder holds multiple national and world championship titles, and the hull design, laminate schedule, and structural engineering reflect that competitive edge in a format built for comfort.
