The Experience

Quiet propulsion and less time lost at the fueling dock make SilentJet the best way to spend time on the water. With SilentJet engaged, the Picnic Boat 40’s cruising speed is seven knots, with a range of one hour at seven knots and up to 90 minutes at 5.5 knots. What’s more, the Picnic Boat 40 cruises at 35 knots, depending on load, under diesel power.

“With the SilentJet battery engaged, you glide away from the dock in total silence,” says Scott Bryant, Hinckley’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “After an hour or so, the diesel engine comes on automatically until the next time you anchor, and you won’t have to run your generator because the battery has already been charged and you can run everything on it. You also don’t have to manually charge the battery—the diesel engine will do it for you in just 30-45 minutes of running time.”
