We looked at a 35 Contender, early 90's boat, 12000 lb. 250 OX-66's, 42 mph, 5000 rpm's with 21" 3 blades. There is no way a 15000 boat with a 5' longer hull and 100 more horsepower is only dong 18. Sorry man. Got too much faith in the HPDI's.

Let's not forget that those 330's are really only putting out 290 at the prop. The TRS/ Velvet drive combo robbed power. It's almost a swap, HP for HP. Torque... yes. You got me there.

This is almost worth going to California for. Any ideas how to get around the air brakes on that trailer? I know "Wheels" had a air brake actuator in his old truck. Never knew how it worked though.

I like it. Loose the big bow rail for a smaller pulpet style up front. Cut down the windscreen just a little and taper the sides of it back. Add some big diesels and Arnesons....

Wow, that is why I can never win the lottery! I would see something like this and then just have to build it...... and end up loosing thousands of $$$.

I agree about cutting down the windscreen - maybe even going to a solid.

Very Funky!
I would imagine the interior has lots of headroom by the looks of it? I'm not a big fan of the side window however...
I agree with the other poster who said to cut the windshield down a couple of inches. That would make it look a little bit more sleeker.
Looks heavy? It would be a good wave crusher? I would imagine it would cruise along at 45mph all day long?

Nice looking boat for it's age though................................

The 40' Formula looks like a Magnum 27' Sedan on steroids. :party-smiley-004:

Looks like what the Griswalds would enter in a poker run on their next "vacation".........

all that wood ....
