55' design Cat

She certainly looks nice, the newly designed Volvo engine is placed midship, so that saves a 2nd engine and gives a more efficient engine configuration. I wonder if you can get the prop deep enough to avoid dry running in following seas.
Most probably she will sink in a bit more when she is loaded.
Have you already made your weight calculations? About 10/12 tons displacement unloaded?
Looks good,
Brien
