The latter includes a small bowsprit and the welded rear portside boarding step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the beam, the Squadron is 2.2 metres wide, while internally there is 1.78 metres of usable space between the 160mm-wide side coamings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oceanworx Squadron 4.8 SC has a 4.0mm pressed alloy hull bottom and transom, along with smooth 3.0mm topsides with a single pressing above the wide, slightly reversed angled chines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA welded chine extension\/spray rail runs from the stem back to amidships to deflect water and spray away from the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally the Squadron has a carpeted timber floor above an underfloor bracing structure which includes a full-length internal keel along with transverse bulkheads and welded vertical ribs\/bracing struts at regular intervals to support the alloy sheet topsides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hull has a sharp entry shape at the bow, stretching aft to a modest transom deadrise of around 15 or 16 degrees. With this conservative hull shape, the Squadron achieves a nice balance between ride comfort while underway, and stability at rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oceanworx Squadron 4.8 SC has a dry hull weight of about 450kg. Rigged on a single-axle Dunbier Centreline trailer with the 90hp Mercury, the complete package should weigh about 950kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the water\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oceanworx Squadron 4.8SC has high topsides and a deep cockpit to make it well-suited and safe enough for a mix of inshore and coastal offshore fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hull is designed for this purpose, being quite stable at rest, but with enough vee angle up at the bow to smooth out the ride through the chop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, the test rig is still a small boat at just 4.8 metres long, so you do need to throttle back when the conditions get lumpy when running offshore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, however, the Squadron 4.8SC is seaworthy and safe underway, and responsive to trim and throttle application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith two people standing aft, behind the helm console, the test rig does feel slightly stern down, but this isn't an issue underway as you can tuck the nose into the waves using the engine trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis slightly stern-heavy running attitude is also welcome when running before the sea as the hull surfs easily down the waves with the engine set at mid-trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur test boat was rigged with a 90hp Mercury 90hp outboard engine, the maximum rating for this 4.8-metre Squadron boat package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Squadron will work decently well with a smaller 60hp or 75hp outboard engine, but I would opt for the larger motor for the extra grunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the 90hp Mercury the test rig was quick to plane and to accelerate through to a top speed of 34.3 knots; that's ample pace for a 4.8-metre inshore\/offshore tinnie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boat\/engine combination was most economical when cruising at 3500rpm for a boat speed of 19.6 knots and a fuel burn of 13.3L\/h. This translates into a maximum theoretical range on the 80-litre fuel tank of around 112nm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREVS\u003cbr\u003eSPEED\u003cbr\u003eFUEL USE\u003cbr\u003eRANGE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1000rpm\u003cbr\u003e2.8kt (5.2km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e2.1L\/h\u003cbr\u003e101nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1500rpm\u003cbr\u003e4.4kt (8.1km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e4.4L\/h\u003cbr\u003e76.0nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2000rpm\u003cbr\u003e5.5kt (10.2km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e6.1L\/h\u003cbr\u003e68.5nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2500rpm\u003cbr\u003e7.3kt (13.5km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e8.2L\/h\u003cbr\u003e67.6nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3000rpm\u003cbr\u003e14.0kt (25.9km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e9.6L\/h\u003cbr\u003e111nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3500rpm\u003cbr\u003e19.6kt (36.3km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e13.3L\/h\u003cbr\u003e112nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4000rpm\u003cbr\u003e22.9kt (42.4km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e17.0L\/h\u003cbr\u003e102.4nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4500rpm\u003cbr\u003e27.0kt (50.0km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e21.7L\/h\u003cbr\u003e94.6nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5000rpm\u003cbr\u003e31.0kt (57.3km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e25.5L\/h\u003cbr\u003e92.4nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5600rpm (WOT)\u003cbr\u003e34.3kt (63.4km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e32.3L\/h\u003cbr\u003e80.7nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRange on 95% of the 80L fuel supply at 3500rpm: 112.0nm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oceanworx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43954209718359,"sku":null,"price":49990.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/8956\/files\/GZZO3971.jpg?v=1781582812","url":"https:\/\/www.goodtimesmarine.com.au\/products\/formosa-srt-635-centre-cabin-pro-deck-copy","provider":"Good Times Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
