Miami Boat Show
Just back for the Miami Boat show...

Thought you might appreciate some photos of how they do it over there. Not RIBs but engine rigs !

The new 557 is a monster. 557hp measured at the prop and weighing a cool 480kg

Actually, it's probably guys who like to go way offshore (like 50-80 miles) chasing fish. And who have more money than brains, and have to look cool.
