That aftershock rib over here is a bit huge! I'd heard apparently they had issues with the outer motors lifting out at speed, all just word of mouth though. Apparently it's being re-rigged with a pair of inboards now?
Surely having the engines hanging so low at the stern of something obviously intended for serious offshore use is a disadvantage? One big wave over the back and it's curtains!
Anyone know what it's designed/used for? Looks pretty unusual!

It was designed as the ultimate go anywhere fun boat. A launch for dirt bikes & kyaks!






The owner was/is a property developer who appeared to own half the coast of Motenegro when I met him last year. The credit crunch may account for why it is currenlty not going anywhere!

So then what on earth is it doing where it is now??!! If i owned that and wanted work done, or even storage, I'd ship it to england, not the other way around! Have you seen their prices??!

Maybe it is indeed just up on the dry for the credit crunch and all the rest is just rumors then!
