Very cool video and whew they have a ton of work into that boat! I thought a highlight of the video was saying the x dimension and hull were untouched as they felt it was perfect from when Fiore built it.

I'd love to see the "numbers" on what it took to build/run that boat since new. I wouldn't be surprised if they smoked 2mm+ AFTER the initial purchase.

Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

Absolutely agreed.

Ive been around long enough, and been lucky enough to know some of those w/the financial wherewithal to pull off a project like that but also takes tenacity and patience.

Very few have all of the above, at the same time.

Im damned impressed!

Started by hiring three engineers from Outerlimits and turning them loose!
