Owner Experience Review
Owners and brokers consistently position the 400 CuddybyIntrepidas a versatile platform that shifts easily between family cruising, serious offshore dayboating, and sportfishing. The boat’s accommodations are repeatedly cited as unusually complete for a cuddy: two cabins (aft queen and a forward convertible V‑berth), an enclosed head with separate shower, a compact galley, and cabin air conditioning. Combined with about 400 gallons of fuel, that package is described as suitable for weekend getaways and multi‑day runs, including Bahamas trips.
On the water, reviewers report a smooth, dry ride in small‑to‑medium chop and a hull so fine‑tuned it can be run without constant trim‑tab or engine‑height adjustments. Handling is notably crisp; at speed the boat leans moderately and reverses direction quickly without dropping rpm. Published sea trials commonly show a comfortable cruise around 30 knots and top speeds in the mid‑50s with triple outboards, with detailed fuel/consumption charts available from independent tests for trip planning.
Day to day, owners value the serviceability benefits of outboard power, noting that removal or replacement is more straightforward than with inboards. At the same time, triple‑outboard setups bring higher routine service demands and potential long‑term engine costs; used‑market listings often note recent 100‑hour services and, in some cases, repowers to packages like triple 350 Verados. On deck, the flexible cockpit—with modular seating and fish/dive‑friendly options such as wet bar and livewell—adds to the boat’s do‑it‑all appeal, while the build feel and helm ergonomics are frequently praised by reviewers.
Pros and Cons
- Smooth, dry ride and quick, precise handling at speed are repeatedly noted by reviewers.
- Flexible cockpit and options let owners configure for family cruising, fishing, or diving.
- Outboard power simplifies engine service and replacement compared with inboards.
- Triple‑outboard setups raise routine service needs and potential long‑term engine costs.
- Repowers noted in used listings indicate planning for eventual engine replacement.
- Highly customized builds vary widely, so buyers must verify specific equipment and layouts.
