All of the big and little details that make a boat what it is.

 

 

There are two of these 4 bladed bronze propellers, They rotate in opposite directions to eliminate torque steering. Four blades minimize vibration and increase pulling power. Notice how the propeller is protected by the stainless steel skeg at the bottom. No other twin engine boat has this degree of protection. Here, the welding is not quite completed.

Twin rudders keep her pointed in the right direction.  The rudders are linked by a steel bar and controlled hydraulically from the helm and by the  autopilot. 

Each hull is fitted with an adjustable hydraulic trim tab to adjust the attitude at speed.
