Nice one Kev! Been watching it progress slowly when ive visited with my own boat for mod's/ repairs.
I know you've changed/made things alot better along the way.
Done a lovely job mate.
Well done Robin and Tim. I know you've spent alot of hours there aswell.
Looks lovely.

Well done guys, that is one handsome brute you have there !
Looking forward to being shown round sometime.

That is the third of the 30 somethings that were built for Marathon and all very different in their own ways and appeal. No one can accuse the British of building 'Identikit' powerboats !

Good luck with your season.

Mike

Also, I see a bit of influence from the Metamarine 48 (sans canopy).

Where's the like button when you need it? If all three had the 400hp (6L's) Ilmors fitted plus Arneson drives they would be VERY fast and great race boats. Now, which one would I buy if I was 30 years younger?

Thumbs up

I must say even though I knew quite alot about The Boss boat (mainly because my son Max is in love with it!) I had not seen many pictures but when i saw her in London I was so impressed she is a beautiful boat such a shame she could not do the Venture Cup but I'm sure once she races she will turn a few heads!
