It'd be really cool if you could get it with some Yanmar diesels instead of the eggbeaters.

Looks really nice.

Queen bed, head, flat screen tv, furniture, wet bar, grill, two outboards and 38 feet long. The question is will it break 50mph?

I wonder what kind of speeds they will get? The Merc outboards are up to what, 350hp now?

My guess is pretty slow, maybe high 70's? Before the BT the other two boats we were looking into were the Mares 38 and OE 39. The deal breaker was insurance on the cats but both had decent cabins, (wife). The fastest Mares we looked at was a twin Procharged one down by Michigan City. With 850 per side it was just over 100. There is a decent deal on one on Ebay now, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mares...mZ130246588153.

didnt know there was a market for that

It's made from a Mares mold. I know that Mares have a porpoising problem. I would think with all that weight addd to the transom it would make it even worse. But what do I know!

Yes the new Verado 350 but it weighs over 625lbs. compared to the 300XS which weighs just 505lbs.
