Earliest Bat Boat I remember was this one, seen at the 1971 London Boat show. Can't remember if it worked!

That car has Lawrence Philp's name all over it! (Captain Chaos)
In fact, is that his cute little boat race peering out of that heart window?

There's very little that's really 'new' eh.
There's a line drawing in Sonny Levis book, Dhows to Delta's, (70's) that is a canopied, winged, stepped single sterndrive mono, so much like a V24 that one has to ask ones self where Ocke got the idea from!
I'm away at the moment, but when I get home, I'll post a pic of the Levi V24 drawing.

Ocke rang Sonny and asked if OK -
Sony said yes and the rest is history -
If the Levi team get the commission they deserve for a new Marathon boat -
I suspect we will all be in awe!
