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!
