Jason care to explain this a little better?? was this a bare hull with no deck, liner, top or hardware? kind of seems impossible with quad verados you would have to be doing 120mph at 4000 rpm or something close.
Yeah the boat was a complete boat—it was just a prototype with a deck that was actually spliced together from one of the company's catamaran decks. It did have a very heavy fiberglass/bondo t-top (Randy Scism said it weighed about 450 lbs while the real one will only weigh 150), plus the cockpit seats, lounges, a cabin and a full wraparound bench in the back. Basically it was dressed up... just far from what the finished product will look like.
