Survey watch points

Beam and cruise-range figures disagree across publications

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

Manufacturer Tech Specs beam 5.35 m / 17 ft 7 in and 300 nm cruise range disagree with MBY beam 5.33 m / 17 ft 6 in and Yachting Magazine ~240 nm instrumented cruise range.

Pershing 7X publications disagree on max beam and usable cruise range.

The manufacturer model page (pershing-7x-model-page) lists Max beam 5.35 m / 17 ft 7 in and 300 nm range at cruising speed. Motor Boat & Yachting (mby-pershing-7x-tour-2022) prints Beam 17ft 6in (5.33m). Yachting Magazine's instrumented trial (yachting-pershing-7x-sea-trial-2021) calculates about 240 nm at 42 knots after a 10 percent reserve from measured 148 gph burn.

Canonical research keeps manufacturer beam and 300 nm cruise claim on the model file, records both disagreements in conflicting_fields, and does not average them.

Confirm beam from builder ISO 8666 paperwork for the surveyed hull; do not average 5.33 m and 5.35 m.
Treat manufacturer 300 nm as a claim and Yachting ~240 nm as a reserve-adjusted trial estimate; do not blend into a single published range.

Top System surface-drive model designation disagrees across publications

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

Manufacturer January 2020 press names Top System P85X; Yachting Magazine sea trial names Top System T85. Unresolved; do not invent a single drive SKU.

Pershing 7X publications disagree on the Top System surface-drive model designation.

Manufacturer launch press (pershing-7x-press-2020) names Top System P85X. Yachting Magazine's instrumented trial (yachting-pershing-7x-sea-trial-2021) names Top System T85. Open manufacturer Tech Specs only say Surface Drives with no Top System SKU.

Canonical research keeps the manufacturer press P85X wording on engine_options.man-v12-1800.propulsion, records the path in conflicting_fields, and does not invent a resolution between P85X and T85.

Confirm Top System drive model from builder paperwork or drive plate on the surveyed hull; do not treat P85X and T85 as interchangeable without that evidence.
Manufacturer US model page Tech Specs only print Transmission Surface Drives without a Top System SKU; that line neither resolves nor contradicts the P85X vs T85 naming conflict.

Can a Pershing 7X clear Fort Lauderdale bridges?

Published air draft is 18 ft hardtop. 17th Street closed is about 55 ft. SE 3rd Avenue is about 16 ft. Manufacturer numbers, not a listing photo.

What draft does a Pershing 7X need in Fort Lauderdale?

Manufacturer published draft is 5 ft. We keep 1 ft under-keel on the canal overlay. Victoria Park laterals are about 4.5 ft. Harbor Beach is the deep-water conversation.

Pershing 7X LOA and beam versus canals?

69.25 ft LOA and 17.58 ft beam. Skinny isles such as Fiesta Way are limited by beam and fixed-bridge clearance.
