Mangustas have been making waves for years, especially stateside. The Mangusta 165 hull 10 is the latest to be handed to U.S. owners. Delivery took place at the Overmarine Group facility in Italy.
Hull 10 has the same features that were introduced on the Mangusta 165E model a few years ago. These include bigger, single-pane side ports for the saloon. They also include an extended flying bridge and quadruple 2,600-hp MTU engines with KaMeWa waterjets and Seakeeper stabilizers. The Seakeeper system relies on gyroscopes and has been proven on a number of smaller and similar-size craft. It works while the Mangusta 165 is underway, and while she’s at anchor. Despite what you might think, the Mangusta 165 is reportedly more fuel efficient with the new engine package. (We do not have data on the yacht’s reported fuel burn.)
We also don’t have information on the interior design of hull number 10. But the owners, repeat customers of the builder, worked with the in-house design department.
Further proving the popularity of this series, the shipyard says hulls 11 and 12 are in build for hand over next year.

Curious if #13 is in process of build. The Mangusta 165E would surely be my choice.

The 12th hull was in build in 2017, so surely yes. The 165 series became the 165E, so just 165Es are in build.
