Default 43' Doug Wright " Purgatory"

I don't think any pictures have been posted of this boat yet.

It's a 43' Doug Wright closed canopy with full carbon fiber layup, 4 seats, 1000hp blower motors, Arneson surface drives, air conditioned cockpit, onboard camera system, cd/dvd player etc etc.



Scared the stingrays right out of the water!!

The boat has run 150mph in it's first tests with a lot more left in it...stay tuned.

The boat looks very nice! Is it going to race? And is the 34' for sale?

It's a pleasure boat that will make appearances at Poker Runs.

The 34' is indeed for sale... [email protected]

Dale's boat turned out really nice. Tommy's motors should make it reliable and fast.

how does that boat handle compared to the Mti's and the skater? What kind of speed is it getting with that power? what kind of drives does it have?

All I know is it has my Arnesons, my Rudder and Steering along with my Vertical Trim Cylinders.

It has a pair of motors that Tommy @ Chief has worked on to make right.

Initial reports are the boat runs great, steers great also. I think Dale says they have been 165+ with 1,000 hp engines.
