MTI 52 Pleasure For Sale

The MTI 52 Pleasure is the flagship of Marine Technology Inc.’s performance catamaran range, a 52-foot twin-hull designed for high-speed cruising in the kind of comfort that single-hull boats of this length cannot match. The catamaran platform provides inherent stability, and MTI’s vacuum-infused composite construction keeps the dry weight at 13,500 pounds, a fraction of what a conventional powerboat of similar size would weigh.nnSterndrive propulsion runs through a range of engine packages that begins at 860 horsepower and climbs to 1,750 from Mercury Racing and BPM surface drives. In race-derived configurations, the 52 Pleasure comfortably exceeds 100 mph. In standard trim with the 860 QC4 package, cruising speed sits in the 70s, fast enough to collapse coastal distances into afternoon trips.nnThe cabin accommodates six to eight people and includes the social space and galley facilities that justify the Pleasure designation. MTI builds each hull to owner specification, and the options list covers everything from helm electronics and seating configuration to custom paint and lighting.nnBeam of 11 feet 6 inches and a 270-gallon fuel capacity shape the 52’s operating envelope: wide enough for stability at speed, fuelled for runs of several hundred miles in the right conditions. MTI’s championship racing record underpins every detail of the hull design, tunnel engineering, and construction method. The 52 Pleasure is the race boat with a living room.
