Anyone actually seen the new Vector V-40?
Just did a post on this boat - the "super bat boat" - but I haven't been able to find any decent photos of it, other than pulling a frame from a video on YouTube (cameraman was interested in footage of bikini models, not the boat...)
It sounds pretty outrageous...42 LOA - twin Teague 1200's (the first one, at least) and a 14' beam that goes down to 10' WHEN YOU RETRACT THE BAT WINGS.
YouTube video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyK94NxCe3g

Does anyone have pictures from Key West? The photos from Powerboat look pretty cool.

Thanks, John. Sounds like you didn't get a ride?
Interesting tab placement and size. I know that most Mannerfelt boats are designed not to need them much or at all (Ocke prefers ballast tanks), but it seems strange that they would be mounted at such a strange angle, and so high up from the chine.
Blingy trailer wheels!

I saw the boat in the pits and I was disappointed in its looks. It actually photographs better. It is very bulbous and chunky sitting on the trailer and does not have the sweeping lines of the other bat boats. Just my .02
