The 2025 Buster Magnum open-boat series is now available with Yamaha's cutting-edge V6 outboard engines. These advanced engines introduce fully Digital Electric Steering (DES) as an option, enabling compatibility with Yamaha's Helm Master EX system. This includes joystick control and integration with a bow thruster, significantly simplifying maneuvering in harbor environments.
The 2025 models of Buster Magnum feature Yamaha's next-generation 4.2L V6 engines. The Magnum comes with a maximum Yamaha F250 engine, while the SuperMagnum is paired with the Yamaha F350 engine. These high-performance engines enhance the boats’ capabilities, particularly under heavy loads, while still maintaining excellent fuel efficiency thanks to modern engine technology.
The latest Buster Magnum, measuring 7.2 meters, represents the fifth generation of this iconic series and accommodates up to eight passengers. First introduced in 1990, the Magnum remains a favorite among large open boats in the Nordic region. The larger SuperMagnum, introduced in 2013, is in its third generation, offering a 7.4-meter length and seating for up to ten passengers.
Both models include hydraulic steering as standard, with the option to upgrade to Yamaha's Digital Electric Steering (DES). This setup unlocks the full potential of the Helm Master EX system, which offers:
The Helm Master EX system can seamlessly integrate with Sleipner’s variable-speed bow thruster, providing comprehensive joystick control for both the outboard engine and the bow thruster.
These innovative features improve overall usability, making the 2025 Buster Magnum series an ideal choice for both seasoned mariners and newcomers alike.
