Lavey ---- are all Gel coated -- no paint - no graphics. Also the top deck and hull are bonded together making that structure one complete piece. Not like a few of the other brands mentioned up here whom just screw their top deck to the hull.
I seen those pics plus worked on a few of the other boat manu's - the banana peel effect of the top deck coming apart from the hull. Cheap build process for those brands.

WOW..... I really like the canopied Lavey. Why not notch the "bustle" and pop 2 400s on there? Yeah, A/C, maybe add a small side window for the rear seat, nice interior; make the top removable; this is the ultimate sport vee. I think this could be a very popular boat with the right exposure and a definite money maker for Lavey......... if it was priced right.

Notching the bustle can absolutely be done to fit twin outboards!
The 28 EVO uses the same bottom mold as the Lavey 2750 NuEra and they are in the process of building a twin Merc 300 boat right now New 2750 NuEra MCOB twin outboards
The 28 EVO-R pictured above does in fact have A/C, the top is removable with two people, suspension seats, full harnesses, and a small back side window can also be done! In the article it said the 28 EVO ran 97mph with the Ilmor 710, but the fastest it went was actually 106mph and the fastest one ever built ran 127mph with a GT1100.

I was wondering the same. Curious as to how well the canopy seals when installed. I guess if there were latches in the right places may not be an issue. In one pic it looks like there are rear seats so I guess its 2 buckets? I think 400s would be too much.

The lid is sealed via a 3M neoprene strip and does not have air leaks/whistles. Rear seating on that boat was 1 single bucket but can also be 2 buckets.
If you look close you can almost see the neoprene seal in the last pic.
