Just came across this design while flipping through a magazine (the vendor I was on the phone with just wasn't that interesting...)

Very cool looking design. I could see this being tweaked into a sportfisher as well.

A little big for my taste at 75', but I wouldn't turn my nose up at it if somebody were to offer it to me.

Actually, now that you mention it, it does have that look.

But let's not got there with the Obama connection. Next thing you know this crowd will have Pelosi and Boxer out on the sunpad. And I don't think anybody needs to see that.

actually the hull looks very easy on the water entry and exit.... pretty efficient IMO...

They're claiming 43 knots top / 40 knots cruise from a pair of 1100 hp diesels. Pretty good. I also see they are also using Arneson's - in case anyone didn't notice the giant roster tail out the back.

Very nice looking. And with a 16+' beam, you can do a lot with the cabin.

Scoots right along too . . .

I'm not all that well versed on fishing boats,
but it seems to me w/a different transom, and a tower, this would be called an express fisherman.

Interesting to hear some impressions. After about 10 seconds looking at the pictures, I saw some PT Boat also, some Fino/Riva in the stern, and some Donzi 28 in the deck, if you can buy that.

Except for the tumble home stern it reminds me of a PT boat, hard chines helps a lot with it speed numbers. Notice the draft she is very flat aft, IMO old very good running design. Very clean and beautiful!

The link to the home page shows that the first hull was launched in 2007. That was WAY before Obama and WAY before the collapse of the credit industry. Wonder if they ever built a Hull #2.

Not sure but the one pictured is for sale on quite a few sites mostly European!
