This is a really cool modern rendition of an old design.

I had seen these at Miami boat show a few years back.

If you scroll through the pics, there are lots of cool ideas for hardware,switch panels, top and other things that could be utilized on a Monaco,Riviera,Malahini,Zip, Etc.

agree - Lot of cool ideas. Wonder what the minimum bid is?

I have always loved the "bull nose" or blunt nose look like that, and have wondered how to build that into a design. I love the taper in the back and oversized swim platforms on the back (or whatever the terminology is). Is that the throttle on the left of the sterring column? Interesting placement.....the joystick on the side must be for the bow thruster? Very cool design.

Interesting, I had not noticed the bow thruster.

My next boat will have one of these.

Holy Cow! I've never seen anything like that before. Very cool look... the finish work is simply amazing.. every little detail.. will be interesting to see what she sell for in the end.

it almost looks like a minitunnel design near the prop too....any idea the advantages disadvantages? I bet it allows for a shallower angle to the motor, eh? Might also help the boat track/carve a little better?

Edit: I actually read the info below....interesting. Power engine cover too!~ I love the trailer wheel treatments...something I'll have to keep in mind.
