we would lose too much cockpit space if a sunbed was incorporated in too, nice idea though! though maybe a tad dangerous at 70mph!

primarily designed for a single installation but has the capability to accept twins, calculations were made by the designer and found to be perfectly adaptable to twins, the 7' beam gives great bouyancy & stability so should be no problems.

i dont think you can compare a P20 to our 23!

thats looks good but we dont have the room to do that, you gotta remember everything has to have a certain amount of releif in order for it to come out of the mould. Another factor is the engine trim/tilt......

all three pods are in the early stages so i think will look really cool when surfaces are faired and you see them in a high gloss gel finish....

he's all excited aint he bless him!

Ross, just to add to what i was saying earlier, none of the pods have any internal radius as yet and so makes them more promenant ......
