08-21-2009 05:30 PMThe only boat I can think of that looks that clean and sweet is the Cig that had the pics in the thread with the Chief.

08-21-2009 05:46 PMfor power I have two Yanmar 440 hp turbodiesels ,drives are Arneson ASD8,s ,and gearboxes are ZF two speed .
I am trying to make a relyable and economical boat that could cruise for a long time and distance.
Any input for paintcolor on those Arnesons ? these are bronze drives ,they have a little corrosion that can be easily sanded ,not sure what to do ,paint or not ?

Very neat project. Keep the pics and updates coming.
I like the sleek look. I would maybe test a Ghost Baja graphic in the side(near the rear 1/3). But thats about it for my taste.

09-12-2009 02:07 PMNot much done ,I just came back from a holiday in St Tropez ,France ,I saw some nice boats with diesels overthere,lots of Mangusta,s but those are not for my type wallet.... going to work on the Baja next week ,I keep you guys updated.
As for the props I have a set 4 blade radice props ,and a set 6 blade Rolla,s that came with the Arnesons when I bought them,but those are 21 1/4 inch diameter and 28 pitch ,so I need to sell those and try to find anything around 18 inch diameter with 25-26 pitch
