Nicely done. Just read that Pursuit is working on something similar.
For the non-egg beater crowd, you might as well get used to it. The technology is here w/the O/B's (weight, performance, lack of maint, size of package) plus look at the 6' of additional aft deck you get w/OB's

What eeevvvvver :)
300 Opti Max's or E-Tec's and you're on to something. Either one comes in ready to go @ 500 lbs for 300 HP's at the prop.
That's an Alpha and stout small block territory less 600 lbs and the bilge space.
Until recently I wrote O/B's for anything over about 30'. W/the new 300's and the buying publics acceptance of triples and quads, everything has changed.
I bought my first 24' twin O/B because I felt that was the limit for twin egg beaters for the performance I was after.
W/the above, the mfgs are now going after an entirely different market. A 50+ MPH, full luxury, sport cruiser w/zero noise and maintenance and again w/the huge back deck.
Trust me, when I hear a strong big block fire up, I still stop what I'm doing

Wicked cabin. Be nice to have the OB's in salt water.
I can only imagine the shear horror of catching some bugs in the face at speed though
So nice to see nicely finished enclosed heads. Whenever I enter the cabin of a boat that size, and see the toy box/PP I just have to shake my head. Some of the cabins in these expensive boats need total remakes, or everyone's wives will make them buy cruisers
AT is certainly aware of the changing markets. I don't think it has an "identity problem at all". It's versatile enough for what many people wanted. Several threads have mentioned this for years.
