Owner Experience Review
Owners and testers of the 108byPERSHINGconsistently highlight its ability to run hard and fast without drama. Sea trials report regular wide‑open‑throttle figures around 40–43 knots, with one test boat blasting through 40 knots in a choppy Adriatic, and owners on forums calling it "soooooo much smoother @ 40 Knots" than rivals. In everyday use it is commonly run at a sustained 32–37‑knot cruise, and the balance at speed "enthralls rather than intimidates"—though extracting the best from the triple MTU/Arneson surface‑drive setup demands attentive trimming and experience.
Beyond outright speed, many owners use the 108for family cruising, often converting a nominal four‑cabin plan into a bespoke three‑cabin layout to gain living space. The full‑beam owner’s suite amidships and a generous forward VIP anchor a flexible accommodation plan, while low‑level furniture helps the main deck feel open and bright. An optional upper sun‑deck/upper helm is frequently praised for outside driving and socializing at pace, and some hulls were specified with MCA LY2 options and larger gensets for charter‑minded operation.
Running at the top end has costs: published tests note fuel burn around 6–7 gallons per minute at full throttle, so frequent refueling is part of the equation at those speeds. Forum and brokerage records also point to the added maintenance complexity, noise, and servicing logistics of Arneson surface drives, coupled with the higher service burden of triple MTUs that require MTU‑qualified technicians. On the positive side, multiple access points—engine room entries from both the galley and cockpit—aid routine service and inspections.
Pros and Cons
- Thrilling yet composed high-speed performance, with many reports of 40–43 knots and a notably smooth ride.
- Flexible layouts for family cruising, including popular three-cabin customizations and a full-beam owner’s suite.
- Optional upper sun-deck/upper helm and low-level main-deck furniture enhance outside driving and interior spaciousness.
- High fuel burn at full throttle—about 6–7 gallons per minute—means frequent refueling at top speeds.
- Arneson surface drives demand practiced trimming and bring extra noise and maintenance complexity.
- Triple MTU installation raises service costs and requires MTU-qualified technicians.
