There are quite a few of the build details that they have never released, but it is certainly a glass and lay-up schedule that rivals the best out there. So, I can't wait to hear either. The 700's should make a 90mph 43'er in my estimation. And, the way the Chief/Saccenti handled, this should be an incredible boat.
I can't wait either.
