Steve,
I searched the web to see if the guy had a website with pictures of his boats. I was not able to find anything other than the article that you posted. Do you know where there are better pictures of his boats?

Thanks Steve, that would be great. The boat in the picture looks fine and I would love to see more pics of the rest of the boat. I wonder if he did this 25' with twin 315 Yanmars:

From what I can see it looks like his work.

TOP SPEED OF NEARLY 60 MPH. Do you think it would go that fast with the 315s?

A light B31, 315 Yanmars, proper props and ratio, is capable of 34 kts.
A light B25, more effecient outdrives, proper props, could easily do 54 knts.
Da Judge, I think, does over 40 kts wot, with a pair of gas 4 bangers.
