Come February 2027 at the Miami International Boat Show, Deep Impact Custom Boats will unveil its first 409 center console. The 40-footer, which is based off the Miami-based company’s updates 399, embraces the styling cues and features of the 499, 449 and 449 Poker Run Edition. It will mark the fourth new model the builder has introduced in the past three years.
In case you’re wondering, four new offerings in three years is significant for any boat-builder.
The new Deep Impact 409 center console is coming to the Miami Boat Show in February.
But it’s even more than that for Deep Impact. The 409 rounds out the second-generation of its center-console brand.
Credit company owner Mark Fischer for his gumption and ambition, as well as for assembling a team that can handle what has been a heavy new-model load. Fischer knew he had a good brand when he bought it long ago. But he also knew it was under-performing in the marketplace.
A longtime performance-boating man from originally from Long Island, N.Y., who spends a lot of time on the water—often at speed—Fischer was supposed to be retired from a successful career in the automobile business. But like most entrepreneurs, he doesn’t excel at sitting still. Text him at 6 a.m. and there’s a good chance he’ll responded in a few minutes. His mind is always going.
Which begs the question: With the second generation of Deep Impact models under his watch almost complete, what will he and his team do for an encore?
The first 409 will be painted using a design created by Wes Jones.
“As we continue to fill in the gaps in sizes in our lineup there are two more new models on the drawing board that will come to life next year and hopefully be on display at the 2027 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show,” he said.
That’s something to look forward to. In the meantime, the Miami event—and the unveiling for the 409—is just around the corner.
