Its easy to be credible and its easy to be creative . . . . . it's very difficult to be both. . . .

If he wins a Navy contract with those pix we are all in trouble

Did anyone see this azzhat? They did a show on his latest engineering marvel that manages to run in the 80's with only an Ilmor625. Where's TD when ya need him.. :seeya:

That thing reminds me of Shamu. Hell my bass boat with a 250 will run 80, what's the big deal.

This is contrary to everything we know about hull design unless I am missing the intent here.

In the "open water" video (running along a beach ain't open water where I come from, but whatever) you can see when he gets in a small swell or two that the potential for stuffing is huge, without big air. And just say you catch some air for some reason... that thing looks like it would trip on it's own wings and stuff. Just doesn't look like a very forgiving boat for landing. Unless I am missing something too. Like that it is actually a submarine built for 5 knots.

It will fight the terror that waves have cause to the obsolute designs, like the v-hull, or the cat. They obviously have nothing on the wave shoveling effect that will shovel the water right over the bow instead of upsetting the boat by making it go over the wave, err, something...

Can somebody photoshop a picture of the Wave Shoveler parting the red sea so that Stecz followers can cross into the land of Kool Aid?

That thing's a lawn dart. I wonder if it comes with a device to extract the bow from the bottom of the lake when it drives down at full speed?

Someone fell madly in love with the phrase "different is better".

Sorry. "Lawn Dart" is taken. T2X applied it to my BatBoat years ago, although it has no tendency to implant itself in the bottom like this design does.

"Bottom Dart" would apply, though...

I keep thinking of the shot of that big Extreme stuffing in Key West in '01 or so...

 

[Bobcat]

ah the ettore , that was a cool pic, probably not from the cockpit

 

[DollaBill]

Speaking of stuffing... anyone have pics of (i think) Shockwave (Skater) in Sarasota '05 July 3rd I think that tripped stuffed and actually hit the bottom before popping up backwards? I was no more than 200' from it at the first turn bouy. 2nd craziest thing I've seen on the water.

Glassdave has a good story about sticking a bat into the bottom of Lake Erie

Maybe, but Glassdave could probably break an anvil while playing with it in a sandbox.
