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 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................................
