Twin 600 hp Seatek racing engines with 50 percent more power than a Cat or Cummins the same size and weight. Arneson drives the ones with the shafts exiting through the transom well above the on plane waterline. Seven blade props that run with half the prop in the water. No drag from a shaft or hub. 65 top speed, 50 for 900 miles. Deep V, intended for open ocean. Low aero drag. No windshield, let alone radar. V berth, a small saloon with room for six around a table. Tiny galley, cramped head. A Carribean cruiser for the hurricane season. Casady |
