In case you skipped Greek Mythology 101, Panacea was the goddess of all solutions and cures. It is the perfect name for the new Intrepid 41, which is, indeed, ready to satisfy all your boating wishes and desires.
Go fast? Our test boat had triple Mercury 400s, which were grab-your-hat quick to 55 mph.
Overnighting is easy with the spacious cabin (6 feet, 3 inches of headroom), big V-berth, and head with shower. There’s even a mini galley for morning coffee.
Fishing? Twin bait tanks and large fish boxes are standard, with a lot of rod holders. Entertain? The outdoor galley behind the helm has a grill, fridge, sink and ice chest. Flexible seating is protected by the pull-out sunshade from the hardtop. Dive? The oversize hull door makes boarding divers and fish easy.
The Intrepid 41 Panacea is a boat for all reasons disguised as a sophisticated center-console. The skipper and two companions get lush seats with great lumbar support facing a modern dash with twin 22-inch Garmin monitors and Bocatech push buttons. The no-distortion curved windshield stretches to the rakish hardtop. In the cockpit, seating unfolds as needed or disappears for fishing. The clean and uncluttered swim platform (all outboard plumbing is hidden) lets you board safely from the dock or water.
Wide walkways lead forward to twin sun pads on the cabin top, plus wraparound seating forward with a high-low table that retracts flush into the floor.
For comfort, air conditioning (powered by the underfloor 9 kW generator) cools the cabin and vents through the dash on hot days. Each 41 Panacea is equipped with a standard Seakeeper 4 gyrostabilizer.
Intrepid is legendary for offshore performance, and the 41 again lifts the seaworthiness bar. The single-step hull aerates the hull for speed while remaining solid, three strakes soften landings, and the hard chine pushes spray aside at speed while stabilizing the hull when trolling. Construction is all resin-infused, and each hull is custom-built to each owner’s wants and desires.
The Intrepid 41 Panacea is truly a boat for all reasons.
