The Trick Powerboats 23 Widebody created a social media sensation upon its official introduction a few months ago, being the first all-new high-performance tunnel hull to occupy this size class in quite a while. Trick Powerboats president Jeff Haag sculpted the 23 with a beautifully modern design that is very elegant while retaining its pedigree as a muscular high-performance outboard hotrod.
The owner of this new 23 chose a color and design livery that will be instantly recognizable to most motorsports enthusiasts and the result is stunning.
This particular 23 Widebody is teamed up with the 5.7-liter, 10-cylinder Mercury Racing 400R. The 23 is available in both single and twin-engine configurations, and the 400R is a superlative choice for a single-engine setup with the exceptional torque thanks to its massive displacement. Performance is visceral, with exhilarating acceleration up to triple-digit speeds. Jeff Haag describes the 400R as providing "effortless performance" thanks to its broad power band. With 10 cylinders and 5.7 liters of displacement, the 400R is an ideal power choice with its tremendous torque that the Trick 23 can take full advantage of with intoxicating results.
Trick Powerboats has enough orders for the 23 Widebody to keep them busy for a while, and I am eager to see what other imaginative color designs will be forthcoming. In our next article, Jeff Haag and Lee Dashiell will give us an inside look their vision for Trick Powerboats today and into the future, so stay tuned!
