NEW DIESEL POWER FOR QUICKSILVER WEEKEND MODELS
Among a series of upgrades to the Quicksilver Weekend 640, 700 and 750 GRP cruisers are new-generation engines from Cummins MerCruiser Diesel (CMD).
The Quicksilver Weekend 640 is to be fitted with the new 130HP (96kW) diesel from CMD and the Weekend 700 with the 150HP (110kW) version. Both are 2.0-litre engines. The new 2.8-litre diesel, rated at 230HP (169kW), will power the top-of-the-range Weekend 750.
They are 16-valve, turbocharged, seawater aftercooled units with a high-pressure common rail fuel system for maximised efficiency. Integrated heat exchanger and exhaust manifold help reduce the overall space required for these four-cylinder diesels, which also feature an advanced electronic control module, enabling SmartCraft compatibility to monitor a series of engine parameters. They are EPA Tier 2, IMO and RCD low-emissions certified.
Upgrades to the Weekend 640 include an additional starboard hatch to improve ventilation and modifications to seating, offering an additional berth. Twin windscreen wipers are standard and an optional separate toilet compartment is available.
An electric windlass and a bow thruster are now standard on the Weekend 700 and 750 models, with teak-covered cockpit benches included on the 700. Also standard on these boats are Bennet trim tabs, Isotherm fridge, twin windscreen wipers, two batteries, outboard engine bracket, hydraulic steering and full instrumentation.
Further Quicksilver Weekend standard offerings include anchor locker, storage lockers, bow roller, galley equipment, cushions, chemical WC, navigation lights and built-in fuel tank with gauge. All three boats are now provided with longer and wider swim ladders.
Distribution of the Quicksilver range in the UK and Ireland is by Essex-based IBS Boats International.
