Awesome project! I want a boat like this some day! Thanks for sharing and good luck breaking 100

There were successful aluminum race boats, V's and Cats built by CUV. After a season the bottom would "quilt", meaning the aluminum outer skin would deform inward between the framing. Once stressed and work hardened to that extent, the racers would fill the lows with epoxy and blueprint the bottom, which restored and improved speed.

Heard "everything" about aluboats... Time will tell.

Racingseats with Shockwave-bases are very good but sitting down without belts is not for me. (Not allowed in open boats/Marathon)
As I both throttle and drive there is no fixed part to keep on to so you move around to much.

Been racing mx/enduro for a lot of years so I´m used to stand up and take the shocks with the legs.
Also never had a "sitdown" boat before. Only standup with jockeyseats. Another thing is that you can see and read the sea much better standing up.

Made some tests in 4-6 ft waves before picking up the boat for the winter and for me it made a big difference standing up.

Did you remove the canopy? I really like that hull from the time it was first introduced.

Removed the canopy and moved it forward 2 feet.
