Engine overkill, but what a beautiful piece of work...

As the title really, but I was impressed by the boat style and workmanship.

I’m guessing a straight-line only for that one, with a hull as flat as that. Interesting to see that the rudder is placed just in front of the driver, not on the transom at the stern, as usual.

There’s several utoob vids of this boat, for anyone interested.

I wonder what the park rangers would say if I turned up at Loch Lomond with that on a trailer

"Your not getting that off the trailer young man!"?

I’m sorry Clive, I must protest. In my book, nothing that has anything to do with a Merlin/meteor can be described as ‘overkill’.



That reminds me of a Riva Aquarama. Different, but equally beautiful.

It's as pointless as putting a viper engine in a mini, it just isn't the right chassis to exploit the power

That was my point really moggy, now the same engines in a 25’ deep “V” hull might be a different story
