I did have some discussions earlier this year with the Serters about working on a much larger version - but as of yet that has not happened. Just checked and my original drawings for E7x are from middle of 1999!
I think there is a lot of potential there - and also quite a few developments on the theme that could be made.
Really is an area of design that interests me greatly. Just think that so many of the large motorboat builders are doing so little to improve efficiencies / handling of their craft (hull forms) - at a time when values are changing and we do have to make progress.
