From the May 2005 issue of Power & Motoryacht magazine:
Jarrett Bay will achieve a boatbuilding milestone when it splashes Hull No. 50 this year. The benchmark boat is a 53-footer that features Jarrett Bay’s proven low-profile hull design. Weighing in at only 49,000 pounds, the 53 features a refined running-gear configuration that maximizes available power. When equipped with a set of 1,200-hp MTU 8V 2000s, this 53 will flirt with a 35-knot cruise and top out at over 40 knots.
