Looks great now cant wait for some speed fuel data and the diesel will be interesting to see the difference between petrol and diesel.

[chocolatemoose]

yeah its very much a choice.
we propose running these boats with 400hp - 600hp. most engines like that will require 98 octane. so as this boat was going to live in a diesel and 91 octane marina the clients opted to go single diesel "still very torquy" to get fuel access and range. at the loss of top end speed. but yeah will have two boats here soon. one with twin 400s and one with single 300 diesel

How Nice !! .

now thats a big trailer boat

do they plan to cruise in it out round the islands or going to set it up for sports fishing ?

[chocolatemoose]

little bit of both. the couple owners are quite the adventurers and whilst its not going to be a hardcore fishing platform. nor a relaxing G&T boat. its nicely adapted for both

I think I prefer the top switches, the photo in the middle looks agricultral to me. Nice to see the boat coming together.

Thanks mate! i was only on the stand for a short while. it was tricky to find time to take photos when it wasnt swammped with people. a few other models under construction with a few lessons learnt from this Hull no1
im currently sitting here in melbourne drawing up how i want the first Aus delivered boat to be configured with the type of boating we like over this side

and we still have the insane 9mt to come! "thats about 80% complete atm"

Any on water performance figures yet? Bmt weights? Love to see figures in this hull design- has me intrigued. Seen your theoretical/paper weights…

[Lovey80]

Beautiful boat that’s for sure. I’m most interested to see the running videos. I’m intrigued at how this hull shape will ride.
