Just Stupid...

Hello...

I just mucked up the original Diogen drawings and the beam fell to 8 feet with an LOA of 22...

okay

stop

but that video of the boat flying up through the powerboat wake is very cool! This is the most futuristic vehicle (of any kind) I've ever seen in operation.

What about this one? The Vaton Studio keeps themselves very busy and passenger and Ro-Ro carriers in this concept are already developed and could be build anytime now.

Well, have no guns but will still travel at 40 mph plus.....

These are designstudies from Bureau Gilles Vaton at Marseille (F)

Sure looks like a sea going SR-71 Black Bird, ( Black Fish ).

Boat design has gone full circle. ALL new high speed catamarans and trimarns now feature MY OLD Cleaver BOWS. Bless you all.

Sean, I wish to thank you for the BGV site. I have lived 2 life times. The BGV boats ARE, long and skinney, Cleaver bows, have the engines mounted amidship and the cargo is carried in the center monohull. Just like the 1930's thru 1940's boats. Prettier But still geezer design parts to make it run. Thank you so much. I am ready to go anytime now. Happy days are here again! DA DA DA DA. Happy days are here again!!

Hello...

Here is my 22 foot LOA - 8 foot BOA - O/B powered tri - based largely on the proportions of the Diogen boat...

Crazy stuff...

Needs a P40 Warhawk paint job...

Brilliant, if you hit the bottle in downtown, you can even sleep in the back!

I've been thinking about something similar but take it further and have the outriggers folding like Ian Farriers tri's so you could have a greater beam, and still store it on a trailer.......

Crowie, you just designed the Navy carrier version.

I still say all these designer are copying ICE BOAT HULLS.
