So we have really changed from original Plan.
We got a lot more interest in this build than we expected so as a result we had to do a redesign to accommodate all the sponsors. I wanted to share our latest render.

geez, that build site is going to cost me. for only 5X the price I can get rid of the big red battery switch on my boat and use the ML- series blue sea stuff. Let them know their sponsorship is working, I'm gonna do it just as soon as I have some money....

No kidding, money is falling out of my pockets trying to keep up!
Best Build ever. The top over the ICE 2 is bad ass. What happens when the top catches air and starts flying the ICE?
I guess it could be an advantage as well.
We found the limit of our bimini arrangement last weekend. Powering 20+ kts into 40kts of breeze and very steep seas. The Willard tilt console wanted to lift back on the occasional steep launch. Glad those straps are strong. I only have 2. Time to add 2 more.
If that is the limit, I'm not worried, can fold back at any time and we are good to go.

Your boat is inspirational! The most advanced Hurricane in existence.
A note to myself: no new car for wife, save more money for the boat...

@ynp you can call her "New car". My friend called his boat "Kitchen Remodel" cause that's what the wife gave up. But then she still got the kitchen eventually so he had to rename her. 
Remember it's not a hurricane, it's Willard bones.
@Ryan I've been asked a few times whether given the chance to do it again would I choose Outboards over Diesel. I'm curious and probably there are some threads in this but you seem to have settled in outboards for your business. Reasoning?
I'm not running a business and so far I'm bonding with the Diesel, although I've really had to work hard to educate myself.

I have chosen outboards due to the depth of water we operate in. I have been playing with the thought of building a 24' Diesel.

Very interesting battery box you have built. Is looks much better than the h753 with the ICE and the batteries aft at the transom I saw before. :-)
The electronics set with the VesselView is impressive.

The battereys box is an option from shockwave. But their is no connection from box to console. So we installed the rigging chase.
