We need a 350 on a 23! Ken, that extended cuddy is the bomb!

The current 300 should push the revamped sled well above and need for speed I envision. I am thinking the all composite build will likely yield a dry weight under or at least equal to the weight of a stock cc.

The increased bow to helm length is certainly my favorite mod of the whole build. I didn't think it would have ever improved the ascetics as much as it did. What was done just to improve ride has drastically improved the overall lines of the hull layout. I couldn't be happier.

I'm thinking the way to go is max it out to the original specs on the below information.....400 hp. I bought some really sweet lotto numbers, I should be good to order one by Saturday.

The lines are much nicer now. Sleek Sled.

I think you will have to wait a year for the 400+ versions. The "rumor" is the first offering will be in a naturally aspirated 350. We will all know June 10th.

I think the wait for a 400+ version will correspond with my wait to win the lottery!

I really like the move of the cabin and the built in ice chest Ken. Actually makes the front more useful than just storage. What have you decided to use for flooring, I know it will take a beating with tanks, spear guns, etc.? SeaDek would look nice! Looking real sweet!!

SeaDek and other products don't fair well to the abuse and rigors of diving and spearfishing. The entire deck is 3/4 nidacore and is well proven as durable decking for commercial spear boats so that's what I went with. The good thing is that the gelcoat used is user refirbishable. When it gets messed up I just roll on a new coat.

Final coat on with inlayed bootstripe to follow.

Dang Ken that's way too pretty!!! Makes us slackers on boat repairs look really bad!!

This is well on its way to becoming the best tricked out Tsunami ever...
