Since 2006, Invincible has carried serious sport fishermen in pursuit of trophy fish and tournament wins in boats boasting intuitive designs, solid construction and thrilling performance. 

Invincible is proud of its semicustom, owner-designed boats with innovative hull designs. These include the original Michael Peters-designed and patented Stepped-Vee Ventilated Tunnel (SVVT) single hull of its powerful tournament boats, and the partnered Morrelli & Melvin patented, hybrid, semi-asymmetrical hulls of its catamarans.

Invincible launched with the SVVT single hull in 2006, after its founder was unable to find a boat tough enough, fast enough and smooth-­riding enough to meet his demands as a serious angler and decided to build his own instead. Enlisting naval architect Peters’ design, he created a new standard in Invincible.

Invincible uses innovative and practical techniques such as vacuum-bagged infusion and diamond-patterned nonskid decks. It pays attention to console design and footrest angle, with hardtop frame sightlines providing better navigation. Invincibles have smooth hole shots and quick on-plane times.

When Invincible ­decided to get into the center-­console catamaran segment, it brought to market a cat superbly adept at high-speed turns, agile without need for trim tabs or tanked ballast. 

In single hull or cat, the company says, “No one builds a more athletic fishing machine.”

Invincible 43 Open Fisherman

Invincible’s legendary monohull boats now count the 43-foot Open Fisherman among their number, a new a center-console built on the patented Michael Peters Stepped-Vee Ventilated Tunnel hull. 

The new boat, featuring plenty of power and even more room, replaces both the 42 Open Fisherman and the Center Cabin in Invincible’s lineup. Dual-row seating means big crews are welcome; says the company, “Never let capacity be the deciding factor again.”

A new extended console, helm and cabin have been moved forward to preserve fishing room while accommodating the dual-row captain’s-chair seating, with shock absorbers an option for the front row. The redesigned dash area has space for two 24-inch Garmin screens. Additional electronics such as audio, Seakeeper control, Mercury VesselView and a third MFD (so anglers in the cockpit can eye the latest info) nest in the hardtop.

Designed with tournament and master anglers in mind, the new semicustom 43 Open can be built with a full sleeping berth, a head compartment and a vanity sink. Two large windows bring in sunlight, while air ­conditioning keeps it comfortable, with two AC ducts on the helm dash. 

The standard extended console lounge houses the boat’s largest fish box, or with dividers in place, its three sections can be used for storage. Five more fish boxes are located within the floor.

Besides electronics, the hardtop can support outriggers and/or a folding tower rear-entry second station. A second livewell with aquarium windows at the transom complements an optional in-floor well. Full coaming bolsters around the boat provide 360-degree fishing comfort. Rod holders can total a stunning 60, and electric-reel outlets are available.

A flat-back tackle center flanks the second row of seats. From it a cooler is ­electrically withdrawn. Four sets of washdowns, fresh and saltwater, are ready for cleanup.

Editor’s Tip 

Invincible’s Stepped-Vee Ventilated Tunnel hull with twin steps rides remarkably flat. Even during acceleration from a standing start, there’s virtually no bow rise, offering excellent ­forward visibility. Its monohulls offer one of the lowest drag coefficients of any boat. -Jim Hendricks, Staff Editor, Boating and Fishing Group

Invincible 33 Catamaran

Five years after launching its Morrelli & Melvin-designed catamaran line, Invincible has created its smallest cat platform yet: the 33 Catamaran, with the performance, versatility and amenities of its bigger siblings in a powerful, agile and nimble new form. 

Like all the Invincible cats, the 33 features a single-level deck and 360-degree walk-around fishability, including the ability to gaff fish at the bow. Standard are bow and below-deck storage and a deluxe console—its dash adopted from the 36 Open Fisherman—with room for a full-size head. The 33 Catamaran also boasts a finished bilge and high-speed pickup for livewell sea chests.

Top options include a hardtop, a windshield and enclosures, a folding tower with a dual station, a crow’s nest for the hardtop, outriggers and kingfish rod holders. For the helm select a pair of Llebroc seats or back-to-back helm/mezzanine seats. Behind the latter is a tackle center with a built-in cooler beneath the seat base. A removable rear bench seat is another option.

A variety of fishing options are available, including up to 47 rod holders, undergunwale rod racks, transom and in-deck livewells with sea chests, and a rear-facing tackle station. Underwater LED lights are also available.

The boat anticipates fishing success with four insulated fish boxes, two flanking the cabin and another pair in the bow. The space within the console-front seat can also be used for fish or gear storage. 

Editor’s Tip 

You can never have too much deck space, especially if you engage in active fishing styles like casting to breaking fish. Big cat boats maximize onboard real estate with wide beams that ensure everyone can hook up without having to dance around each other. -Joe Albanese, Executive Editor Salt Water Sportsman

When one world-traveling angler tired of experiencing boats that weren’t tough enough, fast enough or smooth enough for serious anglers, he decided to build one himself. 

Invincible enlisted the expertise of renowned naval architect Michael Peters, and became the first to employ the Stepped-Vee Ventilated Tunnel hull, which has become famous for high performance, smooth ride and reliable handling.

In the exciting decades since, in single-hull and in catamaran designs created in partnership with world-authority naval architects Morrelli & Melvin, Invincible has become synonymous with rugged, athletic and hard-fishing boats.

Invincible 43 Open Fisherman

The new 43 Open Fisherman extends the legacy of Invincible monohull boats. On its patented Michael Peters-design hull, it boasts the power and agility of its forebears, but adds additional deckspace that ensures it won’t be a limiting factor on fishing trips. 

The single-level deck provides 360-degree, walk-around fishability. Within it are three in-deck fish-storage boxes—two in the aft cockpit, one in the bow. The boat features three livewells: two of them within the transom and one in the aft deck.

The 43 Open Fisherman’s massive 675-gallon fuel capacity provides (depending on power selection) 600-plus-nautical-mile range from triple- and quad-outboard installations .

The deluxe console has a fully lined cabin belowdecks equipped with berth, head, sink, and generous access to the helm electronics. On-deck seating options are plentiful , including dual-row helm seating and foldaway cockpit seating.

Options up top include hardtop, folding tower with dual station, hardtop crow’s-nest and ladder, LED spreader lights, cockpit and windshield enclosures, outriggers, rod holders and racks. 

Manufacturer’s Remark

We are always striving to be at the forefront of what benefits sport-fishermen both on their way to the bite and when they have their lines in the water.

In the exciting decades since, in single-hull and in catamaran designs created in partnership with world-authority naval architects Morrelli & Melvin, Invincible has become synonymous with rugged, athletic and hard-fishing boats.

Invincible 46 Pilothouse

Invincible made big-cat news when it introduced its 46 Catamaran center-console in 2020. Now those patented-design catamaran hulls comprise the base of the first-ever production pilothouse catamaran, the 46 Pilothouse. 

Designed by Invincible senior vice president of design Scott Wood, the new boat provides an exciting ride on a patented Morrelli & Melvin hybrid semi-asymmetrical catamaran design that offers the softest ride in chop, and turns crisply—without awkward heeling. It offers the range, performance and 360-degree fishability of its CC sibling, plus sport-fisher-level sleeping space and weather-defying comfort within its -innovative two-berth pilothouse.

The climate-controlled interior houses a roomy head compartment and full-feature helm station. A power window at the rear of the pilothouse raises and lowers as desired for air movement or communication.

Fishing options include outriggers, rod holders in several configurations, livewell sea-chest pumps, clear lid for the in-floor livewell, electric-reel outlets, and built-in tuna tube. 

Other options include cockpit prep station, leaning-post chill plate, foldout storage lockers, and full coaming bolsters. Battery-system upgrades are available, as is a battery charger with galvanic isolator.

There are many ways to describe a boat, but Invincible has settled upon one word that embodies grace, strength, agility and more: athletic.

“The fact is,” the company says proudly, “no one today builds a more athletic fishing machine.”

Invincible introduced its now-classic center-console Invincible 36 in 2006, built on the patented Stepped-Vee Ventilated Tunnel design from naval architect Michael Peters. Invincible’s monohull boats still ride on that distinctive hull design.

Next, Invincible partnered with multihull specialist Morrelli & Melvin Design to create a center-console catamaran line whose patented hybrid, semi-asymmetrical design leads the industry in ride, handling and speed. The boat’s fishability is enriched by its single-level deck and ability to gaff a fish from the bow.

Invincible 33 Catamaran

Invincible’s smallest cat—with siblings to 46 feet—takes the performance, versatility and amenities of those larger boats and packages them in a powerful, agile and nimble new one: what the company calls “a whole new size of serious.”

Atop the patented catamaran hull, a single-level deck offers 360-degree walk-around fishability. Within the deck is generous storage and insulated fish boxes and livewells; another livewell is in the transom, among other options. 

A high-speed pickup is ready to serve an optional sea chest. The deluxe console has ample space for battlewagon-style electronics, and is lined and lighted within to offer space for a full-size head. Match your fishing style with a custom top: a hardtop or folding tower with a dual station, plus a buggy-style hardtop and/or crow’s-nest. Rupp or Gem outriggers are options, as are additional rod holders, electric-reel outlets, LED spreader lights, and seating additions and upgrades including custom Llebroc helm chairs.

For power, choose from twin Yamaha 300s or Mercury Verado or Racing outboards.

Manufacturer’s Remark

With the size making it easy to trailer, this was purpose-built for customers interested in big-cat performance to align with their size needs.

  • Test Props: Mercury Eco Enertia, 19”

The boat’s fishability is enriched by its single-level deck and ability to gaff a fish from the bow.

Invincible 39 Open Fisherman

Invincible calls its 39 Open Fisherman—its most popular monohull—“a serious boat for -serious anglers.” The semicustom boat’s single-level deck enables Invincible’s trademark 360-degree fishability. Its 550-gallon fuel capacity provides for a range of more than 500 nautical miles, the company says.

Options include a hardtop—with a crow’s-nest available—or a folding tower with dual station, Rupp or Gem outriggers, hardtop rod holders, and a polycarbonate enclosure or wings. 

Rod holders are available at gunwales and in the console; you can add heavy-duty swivel rod holders and electric-reel outlets too. Besides four standard in-floor fish boxes, an optional livewell sea chest is available in several sizes. 

Seating includes triple custom Llebroc helm chairs, a deluxe leaning post with a built-in seat/cooler, removable rear lounge seats, and forward U-shaped seating. Among convenience and comfort options are a bow thruster and a deluxe console electric head. 

For power, select from triple 300 Yamahas, 350 or 400 Mercury Verados, or 450R Mercury Racing outboards. Or take it up a notch with quad 300, 350 or 400 Verados or 450R Racing outboards.

The post Invincible 33 Catamaran Boat Review appeared first on Sport Fishing Mag.

Invincible Boats and design firm Morrelli & Melvin have hit their stride with the latest debut in Invincible’s five-model catamaran lineup, all of which feature hybrid semi-asymmetrical hulls. The design of the 33 Catamaran provides a high-performance ride, comfortable turning and superior sea-keeping characteristics.

The South Florida builder provided my test boat in mid-August. It came equipped with twin Mercury Verado supercharged 400 hp outboards, which pushed the hull to nearly 62 miles per hour with four crew and 100 pounds of gear. The cat jumped to plane in about 6.5 seconds and hit 30 miles per hour in 11 seconds.

Ok, all that is cool, but what’s really cool is the way this boat handles. Crisp, comfortable turns feature none of the awkward outward heeling of symmetrical cats. The twin sponsons also work best together when they have chop to deal with.

Fish Features

As a fishing platform, the 33 features outstanding stability at rest and when trolling. Bolstered inwales cushion the thighs, and the gunwales themselves rise to a comfortable height for wiring, releasing or gaffing a fish.

A 65-gallon oval livewell centered on the transom is flanked by a starboard transom door and a pair of port-side storage drawers. An in-deck livewell (also 65 gallons) adds capacity, and both tanks are fed by a sea chest with four pumps.

Rod holders are almost too numerous to count; it took three of us five minutes to agree on a count of 47 between the transom, gunwales, leaning post, hard top and side-console racks.

Mezzanine seating behind of the three-man leaning post doubles as a rigging station when the seatback is folded down. In that compartment, I found four drawers in two lockers flanking a center utility box. On each side of the leaning post, I saw two more compartments.

Comfort Factors

You’d expect a lot from a 33-foot boat with a 10-foot-3-inch beam, and Invincible delivers numerous features. The center console (from the 36 Open Fisherman) and leaning post (from the 35 Catamaran), as well as a new-size hard top all fit beautifully, leaving wide walkways to either side. On the helm face, Invincible provides plenty of room for two 20-inch displays, a VHF radio, Mercury VesselView gauge and Fusion audio controller. The hard top is ported to stow longer rods, and acrylic windscreens protect passengers from the weather.

When the day’s fishing ends, families find loads of seating for a dinner under the stars. A double lounge graces the front of the console, and beneath it, a large compartment comes equipped with a head. Invincible has considered all of the variables to deliver the right formula for a great day on the water with family and friends.

Invincible is coming on strong with both center console deep V bottom and catamaran fishing boats. They tapped the experience of the top designers in their class using Michael Peters’ SVVT hull for their center consoles—they were the first to build on that platform—and Morelli and Melvin for their cats. Every boat is laser focused on serious fishing and wraps the angler in comfortable luxury.

Well established in the center console fish-boat market, Invincible has also dug deep into the catamaran genre with 35-, 37- and 40-footers. Continuing to push the envelope, Invincible’s all-new 46 Cat perhaps ranks as the coup de gras. A large, open, spacious, well-appointed boat, the 46 remains focused on fishing features and performance.

Balancing the trade-offs inherent within the cat design, the folks at Invincible have blended the need for storage, fishing features and comfort with equal measure. Cats offer a great deal of space all through the boat, and this 46 is no exception with plenty of room to walk around the console and huge areas in the cockpit and forward deck.

Live baiters need not worry, as the transom hosts dual 60-gallon livewells, four tuna tubes, and a 72-gallon in-deck well in each hull. My test boat had a total of 75 rod holders, a molded dive door on the port side and four in-deck fish boxes, totaling 1,334 gallons of capacity.

The console houses a head, access to the main breaker panel, battery switches and electronics connections. The well laid-out dash features room for two 24-inch Garmin screens. The center-mount helm, binnacle, joystick controls and all control switches for systems reside under a beveled Plexiglas cover for easy access and visibility.

Dual-row helm seating offers comfortable three-across seats with armrests. Aft of the second row lies a mezzanine bench for three with a large molded cooler with chill plates beneath.

The grid stringer system, vacuum-infused hull, deck and parts married to myriad quality components make for a strong, quality-oriented boat.

Performance and speed have become a hallmark of the Invincible brand, and the 46 follows that path. With quad 450 hp Mercury Racing outboards, the 46 cruised along at 4,000 rpm, making 50 mph while burning 62.5 gph for 0.8 mpg. Wide open, the 46 hit a blistering 78 mph in Florida’s Biscayne Bay, clearly keeping it in line with the rest of the Invincible high-performance models.

Whether you want your Invincible boat to be a monohull or catamaran, the company pledges, you’ll be stepping aboard the “the fastest, driest and best riding” boat.

Invincible’s original monohull was and remains the patented Stepped-Vee Ventilated Tunnel design created by naval architect Michael Peters—the tough, fast, smooth-riding boat that company founders desired, possessing what it proudly calls Invincible’s “athleticism.”

Next, Invincible revolutionized the catamaran category with a design created in partnership with Morrelli & Melvin, naval architects expert in computational fluid dynamics. The patented, hybrid, semi-asymmetrical multihull design is noted for ride quality, handling and speed.

Distinctive Invincible features include vacuum-bagged infusion, diamond-patterned nonskid deck, ergonomic console design, and hardtop-frame lines of sight designed for better navigation and fishing.

In either hull format, central to the fishing experience is Invincible’s single-level deck and 360-degree fishability.

Invincible 33 Open Fisherman

Invincible’s 33 Open Fisherman rides and fishes like a big boat but handles as deftly as a small one. It incorporates both the SVVT hull that made its big brother famous, the classic Invincible 36 Open, and twin-engine ease and economy.

Standard features include a transom door, AGM sealed batteries, deluxe console with lined interior for full-size head, high-speed pickup for livewell sea chest, sink with tackle drawers, saltwater washdown, and triple 2,000 gph bilge pumps.

Power options include your choice of twins, either 300 hp Yamahas, Mercury Verados from 300 to 400 hp or Mercury 450HP R (racing) motors. Mercury VesselView upgrades are available.

Pick your top option: hardtop, crow’s-nest for same or folding tower with dual station plus optional outriggers.

Center-console survey respondents differ on gunwale-mounted rod-holder needs —33 percent are happy with four, 35 percent want six, and 32 percent need eight or more. With Invincible, order what your fishing requires. Other fishing-friendly options are livewell sea chests, undergunwale rod racks and gaff holders, and electric-reel outlets.

Forward bench seating will please the 40 percent who consider it of medium to high importance in their CC, while rear bench and rear lounge seats can meet the needs of some buyers; they’re about half as common as foldaway aft seats on respondents’ current boats.

Additional convenience options include a bow thruster, freshwater washdown, deluxe electric head within the console, dive ladder and in-hull windlass.
