it's being repurposed as a bill board rather than crushed and in a land fill so now it is recycling rather than consumerism.

I remembered reading it was excessively heavy.

Since Phenomenon is being compared to Mystics.
Anyone know what Spirit of Qatar weighed?

C5000R Mystic dry weight advertised was 10,500 pounds...Qatar was a bit heavier than other 5000R (ie My Way)as the layup was heavier around the cockpit - actual hull was the same layup

I don’t drink the electric car look aid. Im glad someone is doing something with the boat. Saw it in key west when it was finished. Was hoping the boat would meet its goals and get the record. Just seems like a really odd choice of advertising for a conservation group. “Come see the back of the boat. We call these big props manatee back scratchers. Save the animals!”
