The ECLIPSE 505 Shadow was built to turn heads—and then leave the fleet in its wake. With triple Mercury Verado 600s mounted to the transom, this express cruiser is more than just another boat on the water. It’s a performance powerhouse built to deliver speed, stability, and satisfaction at every throttle point. Whether you’re chasing the sun, cutting through chop, or pulling up to your favorite dockside restaurant, the 505 Shadow makes every outing feel effortless—and thrilling.
Performance Redefined
With a top speed of over 58 MPH, the ECLIPSE 505 Shadow is a frequent flyer in the fast lane. But it’s not just about wide-open throttle. At 4600 RPM, she cruises comfortably at 41.6 MPH, while consuming just 81 gallons per hour—striking the perfect balance between performance and fuel efficiency. This is your go-to speed for covering serious water without burning through your fuel reserves.
Let’s break it down:
| RPM | Speed (MPH) | Fuel Burn (GPH) |
| 4000 | 32.3 | 75.9 |
| 4600 | 41.6 (Best Cruise) | 81 |
| 5200 | 48.2 | 94.5 |
| 5800 | 53.9 | 138 |
| 6300 | 58.1 (Max Speed) | 152 |
All tests were conducted under real-world conditions—5 passengers onboard, 80% fuel, and a typical Florida breeze across the St. Lucie River. With a loaded weight just under 30,000 lbs, the 505 Shadow still performed like a champ, creating an ecosystem where luxury and performance no longer have to be compromised.
Built to Move, Built to Stay
The ECLIPSE isn’t just built for speed—it’s a tribute to classic design, seamlessly infused with the cutting-edge technology of the modern era. Featuring a 29” propeller setup and a beam of 15’1”, she glides across the water with stability and grace—even in a choppy condition.
From weekend escapes to spontaneous offshore runs, the 505 Shadow is designed to handle it all. With two true staterooms and two heads, she invites you to stay a while—without sacrificing an ounce of performance.
Comfort That Keeps Up
The interior layout is designed for real-world living with all the touches you would expect from a top-tier cruiser. The helm provides a commanding view, and the spacious cockpit is ready for everything from morning coffee to afternoon celebrations. She’s not just a boat you run—she’s one you relax in, entertain aboard, and make memories with. By utilizing lightweight marine materials and a perfectly balanced layout, the interior reduces unnecessary weight without sacrificing comfort, allowing the vessel to maintain its impressive speed and fuel efficiency. Smart storage solutions, low-profile furnishings, and a well thought-out concept that minimizes resistance and centers the boat’s weight. Contributing to better handling and stability at high speeds. It’s a performance-driven interior that supports the boat’s mission: to go fast, ride smooth, and look good doing it.
