118' by 26' 3" and 209,439 lbs. at half load. Power can vary up to three turbines (used for high speed cruising only) of 5,600 Hp each for a total of 16,800 Hp plus two diesels for low speed work. So its a five engine boat.

The interior is as different as the outside is dramatic.

I've been looking at that thing for a while now. Couple of thoughts: new, different, and dramatic it certainly is. Performance characteristics are compelling. But tell me honestly--have you ever seen a more austere craft in your life? Is there ANYTHING about this boat that makes you want to spend time on it--(other than the obvious speed run?)

Thanks for the post. This should be interesting.

Thanx seabud. First clear photos I have seen of the thing. Should be enough to scare the crap out of BoatCop, huh?

I dunno FLB, I can see myself with a bevy of young beauties sitting around that 'austere' cabin sipping 3000 year old Agave Anejo extract and lighting pre-Castro Cuban Trinidads with hundred dollar bills.... while helping George Jr. figure out how to pay for the war effort.....

and I'll bet you could probably drive the DAM thing right thru 'Hurricane Sweet Cheeks' in the Caribbean on your way to your St. Croix shoreline villa hide-a-way..... but yeah, beyond that I got no use for it at all......

Some kind of strange.

Someone must have too much time and money on their hands.

Dramatic to look at, but where's the "cush"?
Doesn't appear to be much more comfortable than plastic chairs in a urologists waiting room

When I get my island, I'll have them throw one of those in the deal.

Looks like something the Army hatched up.

Or maybe throw in the island on the deal?

OK, there has to be a story behind this boat. Anyone know?
