Need to differentiate profiles, otherwise like cars , all hatchbacks look much the same !!

+1 the same a few time refresh (each time play after refresh)

But it is movie about building boat not how she performs on the Sea.

What is cockpit width ? I wonder if double console fit and 2 jockey seats.

Good luck !

I think the boat looks great! The A- Frame is different but looks like it will be easier to keep clean than stainless due to it's shape. And I like the look of it I like the storage compartments just in front of the engine, are the fuel tanks in there or anything else?
Will be interesting to see a 7mt or bigger one.

Thanks for the feedback, the fuel tank is in the head of the console and the back storage compartments have the battery and wiring channel exit/entry point. There is also lots of storage space in here.

Thanks,

That’s a nice idea putting the battery in there,with fuel up front the weight distribution should be good. Did you previously work at Humber?

May I ask why the transom cut out is so low?

There must be some logic in this as other manufacturers do this too..

Thanks

It looks like it's a long shaft engine, so I presume it's cut to suit that shaft size [emoji848]

Is the transom cut low, or are the sides made up higher to stop spray coming in...?
