Isn't life grand when you have lots of $$$ to spend on your toys <grin>

And yes, they did build a very cool boat... However, if it were me I would have gone for the new 35'... For one, I'm not a fan of gas on boats... For two, I'm not a fan of egg beaters... But hey, that's just me...

Losing the engine boxes really opens it up .... a center console with a cuddy cabin !!
But I'm old school and believe that if you need more than 2 outboards, it should have inboards.
I would think that a pair of the 350HP outboards would push it nicely

When you go in with an open check book like that you do whatever the heck you want.

Wow! Nicely done. I'm not in the $570K range for a re-do. But I enjoy seeing other people's money.

Really cool shot in the final 7 seconds of that video where the boat disappears in spray. 550k is an expensive outboard... not sure budget was much of a consideration here, though. Not the boat for me, but pretty cool nevertheless!

Looks to me like the boat may have an eye on the bow to be towered as a tender.
