Peter,

That is an amazing looking boat! I'm a newly graduated Naval Architect and my interest is in high speed craft and human factors, what you have posted about your by wire control systems greatly interested me. If you would be willing I would love to talk to you more about the product that you are developing.

Hi RBT
Don't wan to start a truck war here.. but i did a lot of research before leaving England and thought the low down torque offered by the eco-boost motor in the 150 suited our towing needs best, we have done over 1200 miles and so far it has been great. When Dodge make a turbo maybe we will have to swap.

Stand by 1 ... VM Motari's turbo V-6, DOHC, 3L, 300hp, 550Nm, 500#, 30mpg diesel is going in the Ram 1500 this model year (as well as several Jeeps.)

Slick piece of work. VM Motari is 50/50 owned by Fiat and GM.

Peter I'm a fan of the SV29's . I was even working a deal with Tony to buy the orange one that rolled over a few months ago but somebody beat me to the deal . I have been a lurker on your thread but just haven't had anything to say but now that I've watched your video and the other video that started immediately after and now I have questions ..

Hi OCC Joe,
1. Yes that is me on the quad
2. It is actually a red padded race suit with a clear wet weather cart suit over the top i have to admit it looks a little suspect!!!!! will rectify this on the next video.

Good to see you're getting some use out of the boat now!

Did you consider putting it on a rack? No need for a truck or trailer but I guess it would limit your cruising area.
