OK, No to a 448.

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'.

Blume does this 52 have the other style bussel?

This is the bussel for the Arneson/BPM style drives and a rudder. We can put the other bussel on anything you want, including one with steerable Arneson drives.

Great Question and since this has turned into an everything Skater thread...LOL

Blume or Fight Club, can the 488V be built with a cabin? I know that's not really Skaters thing but I have wondered about this option.

Fight Club, I love your threads and updates. I was surprised when you changed out the Sterling 1550's to 700's with whipple kits but it turned out nice and probably made it more user friendly for cruising. It's funny, we think of 700's now as lower power when it wasn't that long ago 700HP was big power.

Informative thread! Thanks guys.
