as you can see this is not a small boat by any means. However one thing it did do well was haul @$$. The haul design was not your typical one in that it was a catamaran style, the idea came straight from my Hobie cat 17 in the background of one of the pics. The hauls also feature steps so that when it planes the surface friction decreases. The only downfall of this boat is that it did not turn too well at low speeds, you had to be going full speed to cut a turn with a radius smaller than 10feet at which point the lean in the boat was pretty wicked. Also as mentioned above, when starting this thing you become much more aware of the spinning props, i have had my knuckles hit more than once. I think on my new model i will paint the tips white so i can see the tips better.
