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.

oow! a hail storm would definitely make the owner cry!
I've got to wonder what the goal is behind one of these? If I had 600k to
blow on a boat and no better taste than this, would I worry about filling
the tank?
If I thought I was some kind of an environmentalist, how would I justify
buying a boat from a country with no environmental protections?
After the Gulf war I worked in Kuwait with a guy that spent half a years pay
on a used Lamborgini. He said it was because no one (he knew) had one. I
just couldn't see risking your ass for half a year for a friggin used
car....
but then I'm a cynical *******.
