Outer Reef 610 Motoryacht:
Long Ranger w/Elegant Fit-and-Finish
The Outer Reef 610 is a classic long-ranger, designed for ocean crossings and extended life aboard. She’s powered with fuel-efficient twin 750-hp John Deere 6135 diesels – which, combined with her 1,200-gallon (4,921 L) fuel tankage, give her very long legs. At 7.9 knots, her range is about 1285 NM. The added length of the hull under the extended swim platform is designed to increase hull speed, raising efficiency and top-end speed in this displacement yacht. WOT is about 15.7 knots at 2200 rpm.
