Tiara Yachts 43 LS: 2024 Boat Buyers Guide

• December 15, 2023

Family owned and operated since its founding, Tiara Yachts proudly proclaims that its boats are American-made, noting that many often outsourced facets of boatbuilding, such as cabinetmaking, wiring, varnishing and upholstering, are done completely in-house at Tiara.

After nearly 50 years in the business, Leon Slikkers and his sons formed Tiara Powerboats in 1976 in Holland, Michigan. 

Originally exclusively inboard-powered, Tiara added outboard-equipped Luxury Sport, Luxury Crossover and Luxury Express series, now powered by Mercury. All carry transferable limited warranties of five years on hull and deck, with two years on accessories. 

Tiara Yachts 43 LS

Multiple social zones, generous and ample seating, and refined yacht aesthetics provide comfort for everyone aboard Tiara’s 43 LS. But thanks to a new cockpit fishing-module option, the center-console dayboat boasts plenty of hardcore fishing potential too.

That module includes a 104-quart coil-wrapped freezer tank and a 30-gallon ­livewell; four aft rod holders and two rod/cup holders each in port and starboard gunwales; a work surface with a sink, a cutting board and storage; storage boxes with tool holders; and a fold-down aft seat with a backrest. Pop-up lights and speakers are also part of the package. Optional rocket launchers at the back edge of the hardtop and TACO Marine Grand Slam outriggers further boost fishability.

The 43 LS’ molded fiberglass hardtop has an integrated visor and fiberglass aft supports, a tempered curved windshield and side glass. Skylights admit light; a sunscreen with shade keeps it at bay.

In the bow is wraparound seating atop storage, a forward-facing chaise longue with a raising footrest, and port and starboard side tables with drink holders. Below are accommodations for four, including a full berth and folding midcabin second berth, storage and a hanging locker, a microwave, air conditioning, and a TV.

Available options include a Seakeeper 6 gyrostabilizer, an all-chain windlass with a remote at helm, an ice maker, synthetic teak decking, a forward sunshade, and an enclosure with side and drop curtains.

Editor’s Tip 

With or without the cockpit fishing-pod option, the Tiara 43 LS features a beefy inward-opening side door on the starboard side of the cockpit. It eases boarding from the floating docks, but also allows offshore anglers to slide aboard big fish like a tuna or swordfish. -Jim Hendricks, Staff Editor, Boating and Fishing Group

2020 Tiara Sport 43 LS

• By Pete McDonald
• Updated: August 20, 2020

As testers for this magazine, we live by the quantifiable, taking performance numbers aboard every boat we review. But for me, the defining moment for the Tiara Sport 43 LS came not in the data, but in the looks we got idling through the inlet in Holland, Michigan. Several people walking along the jetty stopped and stared, and I watched as one person’s jaw dropped and he mouthed, “Wow.”

The flagship of the Tiara Sport lineup, the 43 LS is everything a large luxury dayboat should be. It’s equipped to entertain abovedecks for days while pulling off overnight duty with style and comfort. And like all Tiara Sports, the 43 LS is overbuilt to withstand rugged Great Lakes boating, so it’s got the offshore chops to reach distant outposts.

This large 11-ton center console with a deep-V hull that tapers to 21 degrees at the transom treats most lake and bay chop as a minor annoyance, and handles heavier seas outside the inlet with aplomb. Even with its stout construction, the triple Yamaha 425 XTO outboards help this boat can get up and go, reaching 30 mph in under 9 seconds en route to a 53 mph top-end speed. It handles nimbly for its size, and the Yamaha Helm Master joystick system that comes standard with the triple Yamaha 425 XTO package makes docking no sweat. Our test boat came equipped with the optional Seakeeper SK6 gyro, which neutralizes the rock and roll.

Interior and Accessories

The boat has so many interior highlights that it’s hard to list them all. One that stands out is the aft manually rotating U lounge with a teak table that can face aft or forward. Then there’s the galley that sits under the hardtop between the helm and the U lounge. It features rear-facing seating as well as an array of amenities—expect people to gather around it like they would an island bar in a kitchen. The bow cockpit is another great area to hang, with three forward-facing backrests and wraparound bow seating. Throw in the forward and midship berths, plus the well-appointed head, and you can say the “wow” the 43 LS got is well-deserved.

How We Tested

• Engines: Triple 425 hp Yamaha XTO V-8 outboards
• Drive/Prop: Outboard/16 3/4″ x 19″ 3-blade XTO stainless steel
• Gear Ratio: 1.79:1 Fuel Load: 350 gal. Crew Weight: 660 lb.

High Points

• Summer galley behind the helm forms a gathering point for socialization, much like an island kitchen in a home.
• Bow seating is deep, safe and spacious.
• Phenomenal access to the ship’s systems in the cavernous mechanical space belowdecks.
• Mega-outboard installations do tend to eat up available swim-platform space.
• We like our cabin counters fiddled.

Toughest Competitor

The Fountain 43 NX ($856,900 with quad Mercury Racing 400s) is a lighter boat capable of faster speeds, but without some of the Tiara’s creature comforts in the cockpit.

Lens advice for Moscow on a budget?

• Thread starter sjducks
• Start date May 10, 2012

Mu-43 Rookie

• May 10, 2012

Sorry for another "what lens" post, but I figured that there are many people who have been in similar situations that can help. I'm leaving for Moscow in the middle of June and am interested in adding a lens to my m43 kit. My gear is still a work in progress, but I have an E-P2 and E-PM1, with the II R kit lens and the Sigma 19mm 2.8. I would like to add another lens to take along with my as I'll be taking photos all over indoors/outdoors, daytime/low light. I am however on a budget and really do not want to spend an excessive amount on this lens. I am interested in the Oly 45, but am not really going to be taking any portraits while there (or elsewhere for that matter). Maybe squeeze in a P14 for the wide angle? Any advice would be fantastic. Thanks much!  

forgot to mention that I am looking more for native glass if possible. I also have an OM Zuiko 50/1.8, although I am not sure if it will make the trip with me. Thanks again.  

Mu-43 Veteran

p20/1.7 - best choice  

Mu-43 Hall of Famer

Both of those focal lengths are covered by your kit zoom, so you should be able to figure out which one you use more - wide-angle or short tele? Or are you generally 'stuck in the middle'? My personal preference would be something wide (particularly indoors and urban shooting), so the obvious budget option would be the 14/2.5. The 12, while expensive (and thus probably out of the question) would actually give you something very different in terms of field of view (extra mm on the wide-angle side mean more than on the tele end). Or even the 9-18 ultra wide zoom, although not everyone likes ultrawides equally. I enjoy them from time to time (I have a 17-40 on my full frame), but 24 is usually wide enough for me.  

Mu-43 Regular

I visited Moscow just the other week and would definitely recommend a tele zoom as well. When walking around you will want to zoom in on the wonderful buildings and architectural details, and the 45 (good as it is) will not bring you close enough in my opinion. I shot most of my pictures last week with either a wide angle (I used the 9-18 Oly lens) or tele (the Oly 40-150). Since you mention you do not want to spend too much and maybe only want to add one lens I would suggest the 40-150 in your case, not too expensive and very versatile. Combined with your kit lens you will have a light and small but very usable combo that will give you a lot of picture opportunities. If you can stretch the budget think about the 9-18 as well though, great for interiors! https://www.mu-43.com/f56/moscow-color-b-w-25585/ To give you some idea, most outdoor pictures in my Moscow thread (above) were shot with 40-150, most indoor shots with 9-18 Regardless of your choice, you will have a great time there, wonderful city for a photo trip!  

My wife and I went to London, UK, last summer. She was there for two weeks before I got there, and she took along her E-PL1, m.14-42 (mk. I) kit, and the m.40-150. She never complained about any restrictions, with the exception that 14mm wasn't wide enough for a very few architecture shots. I brought my old E-620, 11-22mm and 50mm f/2. It would get to be too much weight for a 10-12 hour day of walking around. I envied the little E-PL1. I would say that if your goal is to enjoy Moscow, and not to earn a profit off your shots, then get the m.40-150mm, a few extra batteries, and a few extra SD cards. It's a very sharp lens for the price, and extra batteries and SD cards are more important than another stop of light.  

Just this guy...

Since you don't have a strong idea of what you want I'd go along with the others suggesting the 40-150. It gives you a good general purpose kit. The two zooms and faster normal on two bodies will be very versatile on a tight budget. Fred  

Moscow lens Since you already have Oly cameras, I can recommend the 14-150 zoom. Compact, wide range, good quality (no equal to the primes, but plenty good enough). Just traveled to New Zealand and used this lens most of the time. It's $499 at Amazon, perhaps out of your budget but worth a look.  

Mu-43 All-Pro

Save your money for your trip. Since you have no idea what you want, it would suggest you don't need a lens at all.  

Wide. Wide. Wide. There are many very interesting interiors in Russia. The chapels inside St. Basil's for example. IMHO it takes 24mm equivalent or better to shoot an interior and give an adequate sense of space. My "travel wide" is the 9-18. (Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg is another photogenic interior. Don't miss it if you get that far.) Those photogenic interiors are usually pretty dim. I suggest a 5 or 6 section carbon monopod that collapses to around 16" Put a Velbon QHD-41Q or one of the Manfrotto ball heads with the QR2 system on your monopod and you will be a happy low-light shooter. IMHO you have enough longer lenses unless you are a birder.  

either kit zoom or 9-18mm  

lenshoarder

I would pickup a M39 adapter and buy old Soviet glass while there.  

Thanks for all the suggestions fellas, much appreciated! Keep em coming.

oldracer said: One more re budget: You could buy a 9-18mm for the trip and sell it when you get home. Click to expand...

I actually have the same dilemma for Italy next year. The Oly 12,f2.0 is way out of my budget. I was probably going to buy the Pany 14,2.5. At < $300. I looked at the Sigma 19,f 2.8, but I didn't think the reviews were overwhelming. I have the EPL1. Type I. Kit lens, and the 40-150 tele-zoom ( love that lens ). I also have the Holga lens ( I actually like this one alot ). So, judging by the responses here, the Pany is the way to go. Thanks.  

I am leaning a little more towards wide angle than zoom although the prices for the 40-150mm olympus are pretty cheap now (same goes for the 14mm panasonic). BAKatz, I'm with you...I'd love to get the Oly 12, but it's out of my range as well.  

You can always take multiple images and stitch them together rather than buying a wide. I often do handheld panos. The gridded display is very helpful in taking the series.
