So, Moose, is this a shortened version of the 8.9 retaining the same beam, or reduced proportionally overall?

[chocolatemoose]

this is a scaled. the 9mt at 2.8mt wide scales perfectly down to 8mt with a 2.5m beam. keeping the same hydrodymanic properties.
Though we can reduce HP requirements, towing weight. etc "

This first model which will be a kiwi client is fitted with twin honda outboards, Hull no:2 "forward raked superstructure" will be coming over here to Australia with a 300hp diesel outboard.

Looks good Moose is that a little bow thruster up the pointy end i can see and whats the weight of the diesel outboard that will be interesting.
