I'm looking forward to seeing this fnished product....has the power been decided for this one?

oh and by the way, I am looking for an easy way to do Desert Storm again next year -and would be happy to demo a 36, or 28 speedster at DS 09
I believe this first one is getting Merc 700s...but the design will take 1075's....
DS next year would be a great time to run your new motors... We could pick it up on our way back from Daytona in Feb...
Sure do enjoy your exploits/write-ups on running your Coupe back there...

It looks like the same hull. Is it the same hull?

It's a NEW mold off the 27/28 Daytona bottom. They did some minor "tweaking" to achieve the desired look and performance targets...

When you say the 27/28 bottom, do you mean the 1988-91 27 foot bottom that became the 28. Or are you saying the present 27 and 28 have the same bottom. I thought the present day 27 had the 26 bottom. Confusing. Please let me know I have an original 1988 27 Daytona.
