Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Absolute 47 Fly is a three-stateroom expedition yacht powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS pod-style propulsion units. Measuring 47 feet 12 inches in length overall, with a beam of 14 feet 8 inches and a draft of 4 feet 1 inch, this vessel is designed for both comfort and performance. The test boat evaluated had an estimated weight of 52,820 pounds, including fuel, water, four people, and test equipment.

Power and Performance

The test boat was equipped with twin 480 horsepower Volvo Penta D6 IPS 650 pod drives. During sea trials in 2 to 3 foot seas with winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour, the Absolute 47 Fly achieved a top speed of 26.5 knots at 3700 RPM, with Absolute's own testing indicating a top speed of 29 knots under flat conditions. At full throttle, the boat reached 30.5 miles per hour. The most efficient cruising speed was recorded at 3600 RPM, where the boat maintained 30 miles per hour while consuming 45.5 gallons per hour, resulting in approximately 0.7 miles per gallon and a range of 250 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Minimum planing speed was 13.5 miles per hour. At idle speeds of 600 and 1000 RPM, the boat traveled at 3.7 and 6.2 miles per hour respectively, with fuel efficiencies of 5.3 and 3 miles per gallon. Acceleration tests showed the boat planed in 10.1 seconds and reached 20 miles per hour in 12.8 seconds. Handling in various sea conditions was generally smooth, with some pounding in head seas and effective use of trim tabs in beam seas. The boat demonstrated good agility in turns and convenient maneuvering capabilities, aided by the port joystick and an opening side door.

Operating Stations and Controls

The Absolute 47 Fly features two helm stations. The upper helm is outfitted with a Raymarine 16-inch multifunction display to port and a 7-inch Volvo Penta engine display to starboard. Controls such as the VHF radio, Fusion stereo, quick windlass with chain counter, digital engine controls, joystick, and trim tab switches are logically arranged within easy reach. Twin bucket seats with folding bolsters provide comfortable seating for the captain and a companion. Notably, the upper helm includes an augmented reality camera integrated with the AIS system, allowing identification, tracking, and communication with other AIS-equipped vessels. The lower helm features twin 16-inch Raymarine screens, a compass aligned with the steering wheel, and a carbon fiber panel concealing the Volvo Penta display and accessory switches. Engine, joystick, and thruster controls are positioned for easy access, even when standing in the open side door. A single bucket seat with a fold-up bolster accommodates both seated and standing operation. The main distribution panel with switches and circuit breakers is located beneath a tinted acrylic panel opposite the helm, organized and clearly labeled.

Engine Room and Systems Layout

Access to the engine room is provided via a centrally located hatch in the cockpit, supported by twin gas struts and lined with sound-deadening insulation. The compartment offers 4 feet 7 inches of headroom and 3 feet 6 inches of clearance between the twin Volvo Penta inline six diesel engines, with pod drives mounted directly above. The stern houses shore power cord coilers to starboard and a 21.5 kW Cummins Onan generator centrally. Additional equipment includes a fire suppression system, water heater, master electrical switches, and a Dometic air chiller. Fuel tanks are positioned forward on each side with visible level indicators, and centrally located fuel water separators facilitate routine maintenance. External features include clearly labeled fresh water fill and deck wash points, 50 amp shore power cords stored beneath cockpit steps, and anchor cord retractors protected by weather caps in the passageway. The bow is equipped with a windlass and anchor housed in a stainless steel chute, chafing strips near the 9-inch bow cleats, and a road locker containing the windlass remote control and manual operation handle.

Conclusion

The Absolute 47 Fly delivers a solid and capable performance with a distinctive design that may evoke varied opinions. Its combination of thoughtful engineering, efficient propulsion, and well-appointed helm stations provides a balanced experience for expedition cruising. While some aspects of the design and features will be explored further in a dedicated features review, this sea trial confirms the 47 Fly as a competent and agile vessel suitable for a range of conditions.
