I’d be scared of that home made step. I like to stay in my boat when turning.

Now where is your sense of adventure?? And is it the rum or does nothing down the center of that boat look straight??

I gotta agree with RMH, it looks like play-doh. The strakes look a bit funny, the paint- no comment, the back seat is for 2 year olds (hang on kids, we're about to turn) and if I'm not mistaken, he has a bung at the rear of the step (pic below) but no bung at the transom...? (Unless there's a notch I can't see) Also, looks like a very shallow dead rise. (pic below)
Nope, I'll keep saving for a proven brand name boat.

I’ve seen your YT video, you’ve got more “adventure” I think than I do. But it’s a damn awesome clip!

Everybody started out by building boats that weren’t perfect, I respect the guy for actually building one

Reminds me of the single O/Bs they race in Europe and similar to our spec class over here.

So this might be a contender vs the Scarab to win the race to the Bahamas!

https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/boa...039230621.htmlRestored Fountain 40 with trailer. Has only been in fresh water so far.
Ran on the Great Lakes during tests. GPS said 88mph.
Has twin 550hp Chevrolet 454s with DART heads.
I have $35k into the motors alone.
Set up for a Lowrance 3D Scan 9" screen Nav system (head not included)
V birth, cocktail bar, head, two leatherette sofas. LED lighting
New white seats (need a little cleaning)
Very low hours. I’m selling my house in Summerland Key and would like it to find a good home.

Here's a gem from Australia.
Riviera Australia built the Diavolo 44, which is the earlier Aussie version of the Wellcraft Excalibur 45 (built by Riviera). Beautiful boats, not very fast but big beam and well appointed.

$15,000 = 10K USD approx. Some of the pics attached in case the link disappears.

^ Betting that this is full of corona Virus and then some. Probably bird flue as well. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a pig in there somewhere so swine flue as well. Mad cow disease maybe?
