The only difference between the 42 and 44 is the length of the swim pad area, as you know. The 42 sit down will have the same tail as the race boat. The 44 is normally a 50K upgrade in hull price alone, mostly because of the labor involved in beefing it up for the rudder. If you do 6's they can put a block out underneath so it should be very close in price to the 44. I want the 44 with sixes if the price comes in close to the 42 with sixes which I think it will. I also want to have the steps on the swim platform from the stand up 44 put in to help when tieing up and getting in after being in the water. Randy said that the steps would be no problem.
The main reason I want the 6's is $$, like I said the 44 is 50K more, the shaft drives are about 10K more and them the rudder is like 15K extra. I like the rudder boats, but the sixes are great, better around the docks and alot less $$ when all is factored in.

Gangsta, you got all of the funds!

Your going to need more than that to keep pace with MC. MC is a action packed character.

The 55 looks great. I promissed Randy no pics. Didn't anyone take some at Miami? It will look like kids are running a 39mti. Very impressive in person.

Zerodefect had Weismann Dry-sump #6 drives and Tommy Bahama had our dropboxes with the trimax drives, the Pier 57 with the BPM drives never came close to matching TB.

The first 55 will have Trimax drives and our dropboxes. A BIG brother to TB.

Good eye, It's going to be a pretty sweet deal. CUSTOM twin turbo duramax mated to an even more custom 3 speed tranny.

i believe that interior was pretty much just a mock up for the miami boat show...(no hinges on cabin doors, no grab handles, pretty basic interior... etc) some finished versions should be out soon...

it will look kinda like the 6 seater cockpit that they had on display....

Tommy Bahama used Buzzi Trimax drives. Pier 57 used the BPMs.
