The extended bussel is wild in person in.
looking at the transom it also has a slight left and right
canter.
Peter has done some amazing work with these new models..

This is going to sound like a stupid Q......but.......Does the 488v have a full cabin? As in creature comforts? and if so....How in Zeus's butthole do you get into the front of the boat? Through the hatch?

That is a great looking boat, and with those Mecury turbo motors what a package. A "Dreamboat" for me.

Looks very similar to the Teague and Colledge boats except for the air intakes and Gary's boat has a hydraulic canopy.

Exactly.

Pictures dont do this boat justice. In person that bussel appears to be all of 6 inches thick with nice rounded edges.

Blume is this the only one like it to date?
i noticed fans in the forward hatches Has Cabin?

Im thinking a 46 with that bussel, rudder, straight shafts and t55,s.
Name it " Mystic Muncher"

Dont mean to take away from the 488 v
Highjack over

No cabin, the front hatches have speakers on them. The is the first one like this. A 46' like your talking about would be the new 52' with the bussel for straight drives and a rudder.....It's still unclear what the real thread is here?.............But definitely a Skater thread. Knot Right here are a few pics of the 52'.

I think why Alex asked is because there is a certain guy from LOTO/St. Louis area that's banned from here with the initials JD that has a 448 Skater listed as his ride on another message board.
