Tiara 38 LS: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Tiara Sport 38LS represents the first model in Tiara's new series of outboard-powered boats, distinguished by its use of the innovative Seven Marine 527 horsepower engines, now under Volvo Penta ownership. This combination merges high-performance outboard power with advanced digital integration and steering features, offering a unique boating experience that blends power, efficiency, and maneuverability.

Power and Performance

The Tiara 38LS is propelled by twin Seven Marine 527 V8 outboard engines, each delivering 527 horsepower. These engines originate from a GM 6.2-liter block enhanced with multi-port fuel injection and a sixth-generation root-style supercharger with an intercooler, providing consistent linear power and substantial torque. The engines feature closed-loop glycol cooling to prevent corrosion, easy-access components for maintenance, and a ZF electronic transmission with a wet clutch for smooth, silent gear changes. Notably, the 527 is the first Seven Marine engine to offer optional duo-prop lower units, which are the largest propellers available on outboards, delivering superior grip, quick planing, and excellent low-RPM efficiency. These duo-props share over 95% of their parts with Volvo Penta's diesel sterndrive units, ensuring durability and torque handling.

Mechanical Systems and Integration

The mechanical room houses essential support systems including twin fuel filters and dual hydraulic systems dedicated separately to power trim and tilt and to hydraulic steering, enhancing reliability. The engines are self-priming, eliminating the need for priming bulbs. The hydraulic steering cylinders are positioned close to the engines, maintaining a clean engine well and facilitating ease of maintenance. The propulsion system integrates Volvo Penta's glass cockpit EVC diagnostic system and dynamic positioning system (DPS) with four operational modes—position and heading lock, bow position lock, stern position lock, and heading lock—controlled via touchscreen or joystick button presses, providing precise station keeping and maneuvering capabilities.

Handling and Maneuverability

The Tiara 38LS exhibits exceptional handling characteristics, largely due to the powerful torque of the twin 527 engines combined with the duo-prop lower units. The boat responds promptly to joystick commands, enabling effortless docking and precise control even in challenging conditions such as 15 to 25 knot winds without the need for a bow thruster. The joystick system allows for fine incremental adjustments, enhancing comfort and ease during extended runs. The boat’s design achieves a dry ride with a 38-inch average freeboard and a flared bow, and it maintains a comfortable 12-degree roll into turns. The low planing speed of approximately 13.5 mph at just over 2,400 RPM allows for efficient cruising in rough conditions with moderate fuel consumption.

Performance Metrics

With a length overall of 38 feet 1 inch, a beam of 12 feet 6 inches, and a draft of 3 feet 6 inches, the Tiara 38LS weighs approximately 19,350 pounds empty. During testing with four people aboard and nearly full fuel, the boat’s estimated weight was 22,086 pounds. The twin 527 engines running Volvo Penta G6 propellers achieved a top speed of 54.6 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM, consuming 98 gallons per hour. The optimal cruising speed was 29.4 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM with a fuel burn of 31.5 gallons per hour, yielding approximately 0.9 miles per gallon and a range of 278 miles. The boat can also cruise efficiently at 35.9 miles per hour at 4,000 RPM with similar fuel economy, demonstrating a broad and flexible cruise efficiency range. Acceleration to planing speed occurs in 5 seconds, 20 mph in 7.2 seconds, and 30 mph in 11.6 seconds.

Conclusion

The Tiara Sport 38LS, powered by the advanced Seven Marine 527 outboards integrated with Volvo Penta technology, delivers a compelling blend of power, efficiency, and refined handling that closely mimics the feel of an inboard-powered vessel. The duo-prop lower units, joystick control, and comprehensive digital systems contribute to an intuitive and confident boating experience. This boat’s performance, ease of maintenance, and sophisticated propulsion package mark it as a significant advancement in outboard-powered luxury sport boats.
