That's great, wish you guys continued success, nice to see diesels projects do good for a change!

Not checked yet. Will come back with the numbers.

Looking good congratulations!

Very nice numbers for a nicely engineered build from start to finish. Great speeds with those loads and diesels!
Congratulations, always nice to have such great results for so much hard work!

Curious for those who may be interested in such a performance boat if you could share a price range of what would spend for such a boat?

Best Regards,

Thank you, Ray. Always nice to get some positive feedback from people who know.

Have not counted my own hours but they are MANY!
The boat is owned by my company so every screw is in the books. Race ready, excluding workhours, my netcost is $328000.
I think you have to add another $120-170000 if you order a similar boat from the major manufacturers. And you will not get the aluminiumhull...

If anyone is interested in buying a highperformance diesel, make me an offer.
The freightcost from Sweden to the US is about $15000.

Some more testruns.

How well does the stand up braces work in lieu of typical seating for endurance racing?

Is this typical in other compeditors boats as well as it looks like it will keep your lower half upright but not alot of cushioning or support for the upper body? could just be the pics....

The sidesupport is really good as they are about 54" in height.
