Can't wait to see this outboard monster completed! Congrats to Matt Rice for taking on this ground-breaking project! Will be a very capable ocean-going cat! Hope to see this at the 2017 Miami Boat Show. Ask MercuryRacing to remap the brains of the motor to that of the 400ROS.

Feels like this is a vacuum resin-infused hull?

I hate to be a downer but I think this size boat will need Quad 400's :)

At 5k lbs area I think it will do pretty good with twins.

I think that the 5000# completed weight is at least 1000# optimistic!:stooges:

ok, so it will be a 100 mph boat " hopefully ", I guess thats fine but a 368 should at least run in the 120's @ minimum I would think for any type of resale down the road

The 32 cats out are barely getting 120, I would no way expect the 368 to get there. However larger boat, cockpit, and area as well.

You never know if there is a market or resale till its done and the numbers are up really. Will be interesting to see.
