I dont think it is the same boat in all the pics... one looks like it is a solid deck. and the others have the open bow..

Thurston Howell the III'rd just ordered one... There's room for the Professor and Maryann in the front..... I wonder what the motors are... It looked like it had Arneson surface drives....

Jesus! All that hardware - arnesons, two ??engines, 4 turbos, only 24 feet, and it does 60+ knots?? I hope they mean at least 60 + 20 knots!!.....

Wild idea, but they really blew it on the dash.....

Pretty crazy - I mean, I could see the price if the boat said "Apache" on the side....

anybody have a clue what kind of engines those are

overall the boat has a distinct lack of imagination. its constructed entirely of flat stock. now THIS is a wood boat with style

Default Wow! A pocket Rocket!

With those engines and Arneson style drives that thing gotta be moving even when it is sitting still!.

Almost like having a motor strapped on your back (a**) and using your wompoon as a rudder.

Looks like European style engines. Could be modified Lamborghinis.
