Re: One bad Machine
First it does not have big power, no blowers, no special engines no nothing. Certainly no 850 hp or anywhere even close, that would have been big $$.
Yes they are Sterling engines, but his small naturally aspirated single carb ones. With the price of gas, it made sense and it is fairly economical to run. 50-60 gal/hr for low 700's
The boat is clean; it was really hard to build a boat that is “Clean” as it is just hard to get a concept to creation to what you see in the photos. I did not have a wild interior built. Why? The communication goes through the David Clark head sets, Stereo and Intercom. I did not build a “Party Palace” rather a clean easy to use boat. It is very comfortable and fun to drive.
No dual gauge, no dual steering no dual-dual-dual. Single driver, (Single owner) boat. This is what leads to the clean look.
It has a bed/area under the deck for storage as well as storage in the cockpit and a storage area in the aft. More than enough room for life jackets, first aid kit, bumpers and lines and bottled water.
It’s 33’ AOL, so it is not small and it is not a 28’Skater with a flat deck. This boat dwarfs a 28 in every area.
Big Cat run was luck, we would have been very close reguardless but it was still luck.
If some one would pay $500K for this boat, I will build copies all day long and even deliver them to your location with a tank of gas. The future value of the gas alone makes it a deal!
