Not for nothing, but I would rather have a 150-160 mph cat that finishes poker runs than one that makes it first to the card stop but can't make it to the lunch stop.

Then you can entertain 6 guests w/ a celebratory toast w/ a cold drink from the fridge, get hammered and sleep it off in the cabin!

Any cabin shots? Boat looks awesome.

Money allows you to build whatever you want. 150mph and fridge. Ever seen another one do that? Obviously speed was not the primary concern on this bad ass cat. I for one am a fan.

Personally I would purchase a cat with more creature comforts over one that was singularly for speed. I enjoy boating with my wife, kids and other friends. That boat would be very comfortable to spend a long day on. To each his own about what they want. I know lots of people would favor stripping out all creature comforts for extra speed and that's fine. For me reliable 150 is just fine.
I've always looked at the big 2 and been very underwhelmed by their efforts at creature comforts. I think there are clients who would like to have more space and comforts in their 800K boat. If you look in the classifieds there is a very long list of these for sale. When you buy a new one your the top dog. Then when the next one is made you are second. There's always one faster. Maybe time for one that is more comfortable and fun.

You want to look at Nor-Tech then. Certainly not the fastest because of their layup materials but their "creature comforts" are second to none.

John did a good job with the 43' - it looks good and runs decent. It won't compete (speed wise) with Skaters, MTI's etc... but if you want a pleasure boat that meets the Frisini criteria, your good.

Here is a more detailed shot of the cockpit:

Port side is the Wet Bar and Starboard Side is the entrance to the cabin where you will actually enter down the side of the deck and sponson.

Center steering, If I am correct, the owner has two girls and wanted them both at his side while out enjoying boating...
