Schaefer Yachts releases new Outboard 303 Sport to comply with US market demands.

Ft Lauderdale, FL: Schaefer Yachts US is proud to announce the latest in an outboard powered sport cruiser for pre-order in the US market with delivery expected in the summer of 2018.

Over 1500 Schaefer 303’s in various styling configurations have been produced with stern drive power and have been delivered throughout Brazil, Europe, North America and Asia. The new 303 Sport contrives an added dimension and will feature twin outboards thru our engine partners ranging from 400 to 600 horsepower.

The 303 Sport created quite a spectacle on the Bay of Florianopolis Brazil in waters that are not used to seeing high horsepower outboards on recreational boats.” What A Boat!” said Marcio Schaefer, President and CEO of Schaefer Yachts Brazil. “We witnessed speeds at over 55 MPH with amazing 0-60 acceleration while maintaining remarkable stability on our current running surface.”

“Like our competition, we see the increased demand for better performing, quieter and reliable outboards to continue the trend not only in the United States but globally as well” says Schaefer.  “We will continue the remake with outboard power on our 365 and 375 models and possibly larger in newer designed boats”

The outboard powered 303 sport provides an alternative to stern drive engines in shallower waters where decreased drafts are essential. Along with superior outboard performance, sex appeal and easier engine serviceability, the 303 sport is designed to attract new consumers in traditional and non-traditional markets.
