It would be cool to go out and see that in person.

We have a 40 ft 9400lb that cruzes Dana Point, San Diego, Long Beach, Havasu, Salton Sea, Orange Beach, and maybe Key West.....:sifone:

I don't think I've seen that boat before-

cockpit/canopy/windshield- is that up to par on safety or for wind protection? Understandable it is an open boat/dangers associated with that but looks like an interesting design none the less and know how involved you are on the safety aspects (kudos on that!).

I don't think I've seen that boat before-

There's a video of it racing somewhere here.

It was a raceboat (ettore) then caught on fire in 04 (joe pattis seafood) then we resurected as a pleasure boat/raceboat in P1 out here in Popra. Trust me I wanted a canopy on it but cost was a factor. I make sure it is safe. Shock mitigated seats, multispeeds, Low CG, etc.....
