Some cool pics!
The first one really gives a feel for the scale of it.

Re: Metal Shark 42 Take 2
With that much power did the boat slide in those cornering turns, and did it cavitate??
Beautiful boat
Do you build rec boats as well or just government craft

With 4 blade bravo's even set high up , it stays hooked up in hard bank turns. It even gets up on plane trimmed up 3/4 . I ran it for our last time yesterday. It is being delivered tomorrow to La wildlife and fisheries for offshore patrol in the oil spill area. Working on many other projects I need to share with AAB. Not doing fishing boats yet but its in the plans.
