Last Saturday I saw a big, beautiful dark blue boat with 5 matching outboards going through the no wake zone between Bear and Pine. Anyone know anything about this boat?

The boat is a Midnight Express and is docked at Lakeport Landing. Agree it is a beautiful boat, not sure you can fully enjoy it on Winni? 😂

Just checked out Midnight Express boats, and they're gorgeous.

What size is the one on Winni?

Everyone is enjoying it as eye candy!

Except for the few that hate 'go fast' boats. They think pontoons can do no harm.

I'm guessing it's a 43 open; I only saw it for a few minutes. It's a beautiful boat. I prefer my Whaler for the lake and would love that beauty on the ocean. But, I didn't win the billion dollar Megabucks so I'll remain an admirer!

Only 5 motors? I hope it can get up on plane!

At 3,150 horsepower the boat pictured may spring some wings and begin flying around the lake.....

I’ve seen that picture quite a bit. Wonder if it’s real or photoshop? 3,150 go & almost 2 tons of engines.

It's a rendering. Nobody does multiple 350's when you have options at 400-600HP now.


The Intrepid 60 has 5 600HP Merc's standard and I believe you can order it with 6 if you're feeling extra spendy.

The boat in question has five 450 hp engines (2,250 hp total). My boat is in the boathouse just around the corner so I now see it every time I go out. It is a beautiful boat!

One thing my wife noticed is that when it went out of the Lakeport Landing Marina basin, it barely had enough clearance to pass through the trestle. I wasn't paying attention, but my wife noticed, and said there was less than a foot on either side!

My guess is that it is 45' long.
