It's far from fast, but pretty dang innovative. Check out this new outboard-powered Sea Ray cruiser...

That is one nice cruiser. I was in one a couple weeks ago and the layout with the master suite aft of the cabin stairs is amazing, and huge. Best cruiser lay out I have ever seen. The galley with the grill just behind the captains chairs makes so much sense. No engines in the boat allows for a very unique layout. I wonder how long before a performance boat builder does some thing similar and runs an outerlimits/ skater style bussel over the top of some OB's.

Spent time on one last weekend, the amount of space gained in the aft cabin is tremendous. Looked like a queen size bed plus a sofa next to it .

Seems like a grand slam for salt water boaters in that size range.

Pursuit (Tiara) had one in Miami called the 365i but they used Yamaha 350's. Nice boat, runs high forties and the outboards tilt completely out of the water if desired reducing the draft to 26 inches.

Only argument is that the last 4-5 ft of hull is unusable. It is essentially a swim platform and clam shell for the ob's so it cuts into hull length and creates dead space.

I thought the Pursuit was much better looking and think the Yamaha power is a better choice.
