Weismann Marine has built a 650hp small block and is testing a new twin-prop surface drive. Pat has avoided the Blackhawk issues and this drive makes the boat run straight. It can also be run as a single prop setup for twins;

For the cabin a portable head for the ladies is a MUST.

Thanks for the feedback guys. So far the boat will be a single engine, 5 man sit down boat. The windshield and styling will be in line with the new 40 SV open that was recently introduced. We are designing a small but functional cabin with porta potti ( can't make the women mad )

I will keep you updated

As for cabin, CLEAN, SIMPLE, Storage for a porta potti, KEEPP IT Simple and usable. If someone wants all the amenities they will buy a bigger boat. I am giving you direct feed back on why I have purchased two 27 Fevers one 29 Fever, and 26 Outlaw, a 30 Outlaw and back to a 27 Fever (all new custom ordered boats except the last 27 fever). Single engine buyer market many of us can buy a bigger boat but we don't want all the crap to go with, bigger truck, bigger lift. Single engine that will pass most twin engine boats and put it up for the day.:evilb:

Love it !

One of my biggest gripes on my 29 is the lack of fender storage. On a single 28 it would be easy to put them under the hatch, but that's kinda a pain in the a$$ place for them in my book, but I'm not much of a writer if you know what I mean.

Well I just picked up a 30 with a single and love it.I have
a Konrade ace drive with a 800hp engine built by MGD Performance. Great package. Great on fuel, and boat can run.
I think thats a great market you going into.

How much freeboard and cabin headroom will the boat have?

Ilmor/Indy combo!

IMO if it doesn't have twins, its not an offshore boat.

Twin big blocks don't weigh that much more than twin small blocks. If it can't handle the extra weight of twins, then its an inferior hull design. Phuckin A, even the 29 baja's had the option for twins. Fountain has option for 29 with twins, and now a 33. Cigs mystique has twins. These big single engine boats are harder on motors, kill outdrives, and are a dog out of the hole.
