Like Dave said, it is a new hull design; it is a 2 step bottom with a variable change dead rise. We also have employed a new strake configuration to also aid in lift and handling. For those of you in the forum that question the method to our madness, both Pete and I are very passionate about boats and boating. We have been in the business long enough to see how not to do things. We have also watched companies drive themselves out of business because of poor leadership and engineering practices. We want to enter this market to help bring back the idea of a good solid boat that can complete with the leaders in the industry, but still be at a price that is affordable to the average consumer. If everyone remembers the Baja 40OL had an MSRP under 200K as do we with our 40EV. We are here to produce quality not quantity at the right price point. It would be our pleasure to meet with anyone who is going to be in Miami at the Show on Friday or Saturday to talk about our product.

WEB page discrepancy
Why are you now saying the 40EV only goes 70-80 mph when your ad says otherwise? Can you clarify?
"We offer Factory direct pricing starting at $199,000 with speeds starting in the 90’s MPH, featuring our patented Constant Lift Bottom design".

Sounds like you have an ax to grind.
We all know how tough the boat business is these days.
I say that if these guys are willing to take the chance on bringing a good product to market, I don't care where they get the design from or who they copied.
More power to them!
