There are many things unique about this boat as compared to the other single 32's, it was designed and built from the mold up with one purpose in mind.
It has 11 stringers in the engine compartment, 4 forward stringers, a side stringer around the inside perimeter of the hull sides and it used to have 5 bulkheads in the cabin before the redo.
All extra Vinyl Ester resin was scraped up during layup to reduce weight, deck is lightweight and Plexus bonded and glassed to hull.
Hull bottom was built extra thick to blueprint the last 6' and remove the hook, 110 gal gas tank has a 3/4" wedge under the front, everything was weighed and balanced during assembly.
With a out of the crate stock untouched HP500efi it went 79.6mph on GPS with a 28" Bravo I prop.

I believe I saw this boat in person on display during on of the Sunsation Rallies back in the early 2000's. Very cool.

I believe I met you there, did you buy the first 43'?
Looking at this pic you can see where we offset the helm towards the center of the boat a couple of inches, it was not so noticeable with the original 5 man set up.

No, my buddy John (Mentalpause) bought the first F-4. I accompanied him to all the rallies he attended along with multiple trips to the factory when the F-4 buck was being constructed. I also saw the first, failed Innovator bottom when it was being constructed. It had a single, large step and a rounded keel if memory serves. I remember Wayne would not let Frank (the owner) drive the boat on the rally as it was too squirrely. We ran with Frank on his second Innovator that had the bottom that now resides under the S, SS, SSR, and XRT 32's.
