Eric:

No lines. The plan drawing was cribbed from a 25' Atlas Acadia and lengthened. That resulted in the narrow transom, which might be good for a displacement hull but wouldn't begin to get up on top.

The layout just shows what can be fit in a 35' hull- v berth, head, galley, cabin with a long L-shaped settee, dual helm station, aft cockpit with room to hang out. The extra length makes it possible to add all of this stuff that would be impossible to fit in a 25' hull. It should even be possible to fit it in a 30' LOA hull.

I agree that a semi-displacement hull form powered with a 150 hp diesel or outboard would get more interest. The boat should plane easily at 12-15 kts while absorbing 100 hp or so and burning 5 gph. But slow it down to 7 kts and it should be under 1 gph (diesel).

It should be able to be delivered by a production builder for maybe $10,000 more than an equivalent Rosborough.
