I have not seen that vessel. I have perused the Stancraft site though.
They have a wood hull with twin V10 Vipers! That is a much bigger boat than
ours. We are also much less expensive than those monsters. Our twin screw
boat is $120K with a trailer!

Are you familiar with any of the electric drag cars? The white zombie uses
the same motors as we do except they are dumping everything they have into
the motors in less than 15 seconds. We want longer more gentle performance.
If you go to fast in a boat you spill your cocktailsG

actually she will run on plane for about ten minutes at a time. The
limiting factor right now is the controllers we started with but we are
in
the process of upgrading both the controllers and battery pack

we had her out on Hagg lake west of Portland for about four hours and we
were running on plane for about 40 minutes of that time and the balance
running at cocktail cruise speed.

While the performance is limited at this time we feel we have a niche
market
that is unfulfilled at this time. She really runs better than you would
think.

I apologize - I was being a smart ass.

That is quite an accomplishment.

Congratulations.

Still think it would run better with a couple of Rolls Royce twelve
cylinder Merlins though. :)

Hey Tom, have you ever seen that monster custom built wooden hotrod
powerboat at
Harbor One Marina? I think the name is Outrageous, which is appropriate.
My best
guess is around a million bucks. That might be low. It's not my type of
boat,
but it's breath taking just the same. About 40 feet of highly polished and
tricked out perfection.
