Twin 2400hp MTU diesels,......50 plus knots expected.
You should see the motors, they are unbelievable. Three turbos for a wide range of RPM's without the lag. Should be interesting to watch this thing come together!

I don’t know that much about bigger boats but that doesn’t seem like it has much of a dead rise on it. I wonder how it will ride.

Well,.......I've had the pleasure of fishing and running several of Jim's boats in the past, and I can tell you from experience. The ride is pretty incredible, they track and run down sea, quartering sea, and head sea like no other! Thees pictures do the boat no justice when it comes down to the angle of entry and also the deadrise at the transome. Keep in mind the boat is 68 feet long and has a beam well over 16 feet. Can't have to much angle in the rear, she would draw 8 feet of water if she did! Hey pipe dreams, I have a 42 Ricky Scarborough for sale. Is your friend still looking for a boat in that size range? She's all new from top to bottom with 450HP Cummins motors. Just completed a three year restoration.

Sorry to bring up this old post but these pics are not of the hull, but the house that will go on the hull which can be seen in the background. Otherwise everything else is true. A friend of mine fished on one called the "Huntress" and he said it was awesome.

They were at one point, I bet the website for F&S changed the tags sometime between now and then. The original pictures showed the hull being rolled over.
