15 Meter Power Launch

Barrier 50

The barrier 50 is the latest design to come off the Barrier design drawing board, with its twin Cummins Mercruiser Zeus Drives this slick sports cruiser cruises comfortably at 28 knots. The Barrier 50 supports two Moeller Designed 1000L diesel tanks the cruiser provides a ‘go-anywhere’ approach to your boating experience. Fully loaded with all the latest electronic and mechanical technology this boat is great for a more laid back boat owner who does not want to worry about engine checks and boat maintenance. This streamlined machine is faultless in any sea that can be thrown at it and with its full carbon fiber and alloy constructed hard top you will stay dry while skippering it at the simple but functional helm station. As you step through the center walkway leading out of the cockpit you will notice a tournament sized aft deck on the Barrier 50 which will keep any fisherman or diver happy. Finally when you reach your destination you can feel comfortable when getting in and out of your tender with the hydraulic assisted swimming platform accommodating a boat cradle for your favorite toys. The barrier 50 is any family or couples dream boat who wish for those special moment, whether is hauling in that big fish or exploring the oceans depths, even just relaxing in the sun. It is all made possible with the magnificent craft. 

Engine room layout

The Barrier 50’s engine room is so comfortable that you could even call it a 3rd bedroom if you had to, with a built in stairway and handrail to guide you into the powerhouse of the boat, the two large Cummins engines and drive systems are sure to catch any petrol heads eye. Digital touch display helps in general everyday maintenance.

Engine position: When I decided to power the vessel with the Cummins Zeus Drives I was informed that they were best when fitted in pairs (I will explain further in detail later in doc) this meant that the two engines would have to be fitted side by side and that the engine room layout would have to reflect this decision. The engines and pods where going to be fitted at the very stern of the craft and I would not be placing any items to aft of the engines, this would prove to be easier for engine maintenance and means that all the boats electronics and gen-set equipment is up the front and easy to access.
