What inquiring minds want to know is:

she looks fast on the trailer.:cool: I did a 43 Nortech project, 480 Yanmars/ASD-8's which is a heavier-14500, longer-44'6" and she ran just under 75. I said earlier 78, Im going to bump it up to 81mph. I think the lighter over all weight, lower deck height, staggered motors and NXTs will help achieve a few extra mph. Hope I'm wrong and she runs in the mid 80's. Great project:cool:, Awesome graphics..Good Luck. Jeff

WOW that is sweet on so many levels!

Nice work and as an owner of an oversized heavy boat I am very interested in how this thing does with the diesels.....I am not looking to go 60mph in my 15000 lb beast but it would be great to have the mileage, longevity, and torque to spin the arnesons better and increase my range so I can go to the abacos and back on a tank of good old USA diesel.

Keep us posted
