The big cats look amazing but between price and logistics they never get popular. Nortech probably has more 50-52s out there than anyone else. MTI built a few 55s as did Mystic with their 50.

The poker run 50+ footers usually need 18 wheelers to haul and a crew of 2-3 guys to launch/retrieve it then permits everywhere you take it. It is an awesome sight to see!

Peter will definitely steal the show with this build!

Wow. Ambitious. The amount of work that had to go into that plug! I think 140-150 would be pretty dam impressive in a boat that size in 1350 mode. Looking forward to seeing one completed.

I don't know what's more impressive, the size of that Leviathan or, not surprising,the fact that Pete built the plug from start to finish....

In person, it looks like an Olympic-size swimming pool with a green bottom.
