.
An excerpt from Scott Porta's FB page
Nick Scafidi of Nick's Creative Marine
This is Nick Scafidi's new S class 32' doug wright. When finished, It will have reworked hydrodynamics (hull-bottom) along with aerodynamic upgrades. He will be racing as S 55, Nicks Creative Marine for the 2017 season. Nick is a seasoned offshore racer and a go fast junkie. He's smart, and in to win. He has left no stone unturned to get every ounce of performance out of this little rocket. Follow along as this project takes shape on its way to the races.

"Nick Scafidi's new 32' S class Doug Wright cat arrived this week at Porta Products. It will be fitted with custom designed lifting , hatch hardware , and cleats along with newly designed light weight 8" setback Porta hydraulic transom brackets. Doug Wright was incredibly cooperative and allowed us to come to the factory and spend a day cutting bulkheads and bending the race deck to reduce the transom height to only 7". This created a steep trailing deck surface aft of the cockpit to help lift the rear now made heavier by the new 300 xs outboards. This will help it fly level while airborne and run loose in the rear on the water. This idea came from the hulk. A well known s class champion that regularly kicked our collective butts in the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Doug Wright also put special inserts in the molds' running surface giving us a virgin territory to install our next design performance modifications to the bottom. These modifications will increase acceleration and allow us to turn harder and safer. We will not be disclosing the running surface upgrades. However, it will look like no other s class hull has. Hopefully it will be the most controversial bottom of the coming season. Plans are to debut the Nicks Creative Marine S 55 at Clearwater. All the best to Nicks Creative Marine from Porta Products Corp."

I was told that they can handle 400R motors as well.

" 57 lbs. if there is demand, we will supply them after these have been raced and tested. "
