Nice boat - Thanks! Volvo engines though... I'll leave it at that.
Yep, totally agree. Interesting looking design though . . .

If nothing else, this is interesting

I'm gonna show that to my multi millionaire son!!
This is worth a watch
60 mph top speed does not impress me... especially for a boat probably costing +/- a million $$$. Heck... my buddy's 27' Fountain does over 90 mph at WOT. It would leave that fancy-dan in the its wake!

Yep, but it's pretty hard to outrun that radio!:lol:

I think it's probably well-suited for it's mission. It's not the fatest boat on the water, but that's what heliocoptors are for.
the 2 inboard engines seem to be a bit smaller.
The head is super secret so they could not show it to you.
The center engines are often mounted lower with triples and quads. Presumably to keep them at the right height relative to the V shaped hull bottom (but moving the outboards down would add drag).
Your explanation makes sense.
Initially I thought they were 'get home' engines. LOL
I noticed a lot of galvanized piping that, IMO, should be replaced with bronze.
Maybe the 'need' is not so demanding in fresh water but....
Now, where to put the A/C??
I must be missing something.... 'How to raise and lower the mast without using a crane.'
That's so Trawlerist of you!!!!!!!!
