Owner Experience Review
Owners treat the 52fromPERSHINGas a fast, owner‑driver cruiser for family coastal cruising and weekend hops. The typical three‑cabin/two‑head layout and a helm‑deck with a U‑shaped settee and aft sunpad make day‑boating and entertaining straightforward, while reviewers have praised the lacquered cherry interior as genuinely yacht‑like. Many boats are shown with a saloon table that converts to an extra berth, and some listings note a useful stern garage or hydraulic transom door for toys and a tender.
On the water the boat is quick to plane and carries serious pace: with 1,050 hp MANs and Arneson surface drives, tests have reported about 47 knots in rough conditions, with owners more often cruising around 30–38 knots. Handling is stable at speed but surface‑drive manners at slow speed and in reverse require adaptation; owners often recommend a trolling valve and bow thruster to smooth close‑quarters work. One expert comment notes the engines can be “a bit stretched” by the Arneson setup, so owners prioritize EGT and oil‑temperature monitoring. Maintenance patterns reflect that performance focus—recurring service to Arneson boots, steering rams, and seals, plus periodic refit items such as seawater intake valves, hydraulic hoses for the garage/trim, batteries, and full gearbox service—and several older examples have appeared on brokerage after such refits. Owners also stress that dirty hulls or props can prevent proper planing and risk overloading the machinery.
Pros and Cons
- Rapid acceleration and quick planing deliver the performance owners expect.
- Real‑world cruising at roughly 30–38 knots with reported top speeds near 47 knots on the 1,050 hp/Arneson setup.
- Three double staterooms and two heads with a social helm deck suit family cruising and entertaining.
- Surface‑drive behavior at low speed and in reverse needs practice; a trolling valve and bow thruster are advisable.
- Engines are reported as “a bit stretched” by the Arneson drives, making EGT and oil‑temperature monitoring important.
- Recurring surface‑drive service and periodic refit items add upkeep, and clean hulls/props are essential to avoid overloading.
