Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed the thread and pics.
LOL thanks.
It really is a cool boat. Yes, Arneson drives.
It really does. It's a great boat, but the green one performs better. Same power, but the MTU's weigh about 700lbs less each.
It wouldn't move. Those engines wouldn't have the torque required to move such a massive boat through the water. This boat has twin 1400hp MTU's and at top speed they don't get close to 3,000 RPM. They also have to move massive props to get the thing really moving.
Doing that would be like putting a Bugatti engine in a big rig and trying to haul a 40 foot container filled with a very heavy load up hill. You wouldn't get very far.
I loved the red one.

I have to agree, Diesels are the only choice in a boat that massive. Awesome pics Hernando thanks for the thread.
