#SilenceIsGolden might make the perfect social-media hashtag for Tiara Yachts‘ sleek, new $2 million 48 LE hardtop cruiser. Unleash all 1,800 horses from its triple Mercury 600 V12 Verado outboards, watch the digital speedo sweep past 40 mph, and listen to . . . well, not much at all.
Even pounding across a white-capped Tampa Bay on Florida’s Gulf Coast, frothy with an unseasonably cold northerly blast, this 48-footer’s salon is recording not much more than 65 decibels on the noise meter.
