At 55 feet the beam will be about 22 feet and powered with the new Volvo-Penta IPS/500:s she will have a sweet cruising speed of 25 knots and up to at least 35 knots top speed. The IPS drives will also reduce the draft.
Before we go any further, it would be nice to hear from the YachtForums members if you think this is an attractive concept and if the styling is what you would like to see on such a boat? Any and all comments are welcome!

Didn't we see this style in 1950? How about something more dramatic, I eman if we are going to start turning the engines around how about the whole superstructure..then we could drive from the bow! That would be really entertaining, at least for the one not holding the drink!
