    What's the story? Apparently the 30 was a Doug Wright hull? I like that they offer different stages of build and the pricing seems reasonable.

    Doug Wright built the molds, then sold them to AMT, AMT then sold the molds to Predator Powerboats.
    Run until it sounds expensive

    That is the boat that was at the boat show in Miami next to Skater, correct?

    Did you sell it, and what power is going in it?

    A bit later then planned but still worth it I think , I found a set of my always wanted Arneson Asd 7 M drives !
    After a week of thinking if I would go that route because we have to fill the notch change the engine mounts and fill the holes that I made for the bravo s again we will throw away a lot of work !
    But as it was first my idea to build my dream boat whit those drives and ls engines to get a bulletproof lightweight efficiency boat I pulled the trigger !

    So we are back to start again !
