Yes, I'll second that. A good looking lineup.
With those incredible fuel consumption figures, how did you arrive at the hull form?Did you tank test? Was it years of refinement and adjustments and tweaking of hulls? Or computer calculations/software?
And with the stepped hulls, they make for fast boats (like rum runners here during prohibition and offshore racers) is there any handling issues to compensate for?
I also like the forward sloping windows. Is that a common thing for Scandinavian boats? Here on the Pacific Northwest it has been a bit of a tradition too as in small crew boats and fish/tug boats. It's aggressive and cuts down on the glare from the helm. Which makes me wonder why on the Eastern coast of North America they typically slope back.
Good points with the IPS's adding more draft and difficulty changing props.
