SeaVee Open: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The CV 340 is a center-console boat powered by a single 480 horsepower 5.9-liter QSB Cummins Mercruiser diesel engine paired with a ZF 2800 pod drive. This configuration offers a unique advantage by eliminating outboards, thereby providing unobstructed 360-degree rail space ideal for fishing. The engine installation is notably refined, featuring tinned copper wiring and a carbon fiber shaft, reflecting a level of craftsmanship comparable to luxury yachts.
Power and Performance
The CV 340’s propulsion system includes a 7.8-foot carbon fiber shaft driving the ZF pod, which offers exceptional maneuverability with a joystick control. The pod’s range of motion adjusts with speed: 180 degrees at low speeds for docking, narrowing to 50 degrees during cruising, and 20 degrees at full throttle to ensure stability. Complementing this is a ZF 185 6kW bow thruster enhancing precise handling in tight spaces. Performance testing revealed a top speed of 32.8 knots at 3470 rpm, with a fuel consumption of 24.2 gallons per hour, yielding a range of 427 nautical miles. The most efficient cruise speed was 27.9 knots at 3000 rpm, burning 15 gallons per hour and extending the range to an impressive 587 nautical miles—enabling long passages such as Miami to Turks and Caicos on a single tank. Acceleration is moderate due to the diesel engine, with the boat reaching planing speed in 11.5 seconds and 30 mph in 18.2 seconds. Handling during high-performance turns was stable, with a 15-degree heel and tight turning radius of approximately three and a half boat lengths. The hull demonstrated a smooth ride over choppy conditions, absorbing impacts without pounding.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The CV 340’s exterior is designed with functionality and fishing in mind. The bow features wide, spacious decks suitable for fishing and carrying gear, with a well-sealed anchor locker accessible via a large hatch. The anchor compartment includes dedicated holders for the primary anchor and backup ground tackle. Two pop-up cleats are installed for secure mooring. The boat is equipped with 51 rod holders, exceeding ABYC standards for bolster height, which range from 22 to 29.5 inches, providing comfortable gunwale protection. The bow thruster is housed under a hatch that also covers a storage compartment lined with sound insulation. A large fish box is positioned aft, flanked by dual lockable rod storage lockers capable of holding up to 12 rods each. The transom includes a center live well and cockpit gutters that channel water efficiently to overboard drains, with optional fish doors on the port side.
Helm and Control Layout
The helm station is custom-tailored for the client, featuring a triple-wide helm seat measuring 4 feet 1 inch in width for comfortable seating. The hardtop supports are designed to minimize obstruction of the forward view. The helm is equipped with an Edson steering wheel fitted with a speed knob, and engine controls are mounted nearly horizontally for ergonomic operation. The joystick control is conveniently positioned to the right of the helm. Lighting and circuit breakers are integrated into rocker switches above the controls, and an emergency engine stop is located on the right side for quick access. Storage is thoughtfully incorporated with removable and fixed drawers above the helm and a sliding cooler beneath the helm seat, although the cooler latch could benefit from an automatic locking mechanism instead of a removable pin. Optional features include a Key West style hardtop and an upper control station capable of housing an E90 widescreen display.
