http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/503/610new_24_cat_plan_01.jpg Well that's definitley different, but would be very cool with a V12 barking out the back. You still constructing out of aluminum??

LOL, it does look like the front of a D9 kind of. Maybe pinch it down a little, more of a wedge shape?? Boat design is not a strong suit of mine, I'm more of a spark chaser. :)
When you get to the point of wiring, I'll come out and help ya out.

I'd like to know the cost of that bad boy. I'm guessin the $$$ to hp is not good. It's kind of like the Torque V12. Awsome equipment - but not mass produced so the cost is way high. Teague put it best. "Why pay twice as much when I can build the same hp for half the cost with a warranty"
Hey what the hell am I talking about. If you have that kind of cash it doesn't matter and I'd bet that thing would run forever.

I did a litle mesin around with the image program this is just a make shift. but I think this tio the best way to go with it. The current nose on the plan probably wouldn't pose to much of a planing problen do to the nose up waterline due to losing 4" in the rear due to the 2 2" increments lost from the steps ( getting image lost it.)
