Even though it will probably be targeted for the U.S market, it's too
bad it wasn't made here.


Holy ****, Tim, six hundred thousand dollars! And I still didn't see a
friggin'
rod holder.

I'm sure they'll sell some John, but if I had that kind of money for a
boat, I think I'd get something else. That craft just isn't *my thing.
--------------------http://www.dsehybrid.com/looks like the solar panels were an after thought.
Actually, after looking thru the first dozen picshttp://www.motorboating.com/gallery.jsp?ID=1000023794, my impression is the
boat looks slapped together.
They might have thought about hiring a marine architect. Can you imagine the
glare off of those solar panels on the deck forward of the bridge windows?
With the right angle to the sun, you can almost hear eyeballs
sizzling.........


See what happens if it's in a good hail storm. But that thing will
probably never see temps less than 75 degrees.
