Thanks for the link, I was right on the inverted bow name.
They do alot of touting new innovations but the only true new tech is
the stern roller assembly that rotates to a vertical position, thats a
great feature, nothing worse than a stubborn anchor hooking the
roller. Everything else is old tech, like diesel electric, the bow,
the traveling cranes ect. ect. Still IMO it's a cool boat.
