Last pics for now.I will take good pictures and video while testing in the next couple of days.
We attached the blower hose to the dual intake Naca Ducts on the custom engine hatch.
Upholstery is white carbon with blue carbon vinyl accents, blue cup holders, Pirelli rubber non skid flooring, and blue Pantera embroidery. Also installed LED lights in the cockpit liner.
Graphics have a few shades of Blue, Platinum, and Green.
Lets see how this bad boy runs with the twin 496 HO - 425 HP Mercs. It is built to handle extreme punishment out in the ocean.

Well we took this new 36' out this afternoon and on its 1st run and we were very pleased to see 76 MPH on GPS with 3 guys and a 1/2 tank of fuel on board. I ran a pair of stock 26' pitch Bravo 1 4 blade and ran up to 73-74 MPH bumping the limiters at 5150 RPM. Then I put a pair of stock 28' pitch Bravo 1 and spun them at 4750 - 4800 RPM and ran consistent 76 MPH. I think with a pair of labbed 28' pitch Bravo 1 spinning at 5150 RPM and 79-80 MPH are there. Remember these motors are brand new with 2 hours on them so once broken in RPM should increase a bit more.
This is a "true" 36' foot boat with out platform and right around 8300-8500 pounds. Its incredible that we are getting the same performance with these twin 496 HO - 425 Mercs. than our traditional full deep v 28' model with same HP.Our "twin stepped bottom" just works perfect. It turns like a regular deep V and very fast in flat and rough water conditions.
Will try and test some Hydromotive props, and set of labbed 28' Bravo 1 and see if we crack 80 MPH in the next couple of days.
Here are a few pictures from this afternoon. Boat looks awesome in the water.

Here are a few pics. of the cabin and engine room.
Would like to try a staggered Mercruiser 496 HO - 425 HP set up in the near future. A 4-5 MPH increase over the side by side configuration and speeds well into the 80s with stock HP and 5 year warranty.
