A little more detail than what's been provided so far—plus some new images, http://speedonthewater.com/boat-rest...r-testing.html.

The boat has not had a formal shoot done yet. Gary Stray actually went into the shop and shot these images for the speedonthewater.com story.

Attached is one of the photos I could not resize, and hence could not use, in Photoshop for our story. I think it shows the degree to which AMF Offshore Rigging was willing to take the detail on this project. (Of course, it also helps to have a client who is willing to pay for it.)

Quick update: Stray and Begovich ran out of time and did not get the boat in the water yesterday.
If it happens today, speedonthewater.com will report.

Also, someone an in earlier post asked for an engine shot. Here's one, courtesy of Gary Stray.
