    Are those water jets?

    Are they in-line with each other?

    Is this a narrow catamaran?

    Decided not to go stealth, any reason behind that?

    It's Coast Guard inspired, so it's really military, right?

    Very nice

    I like it! Two rudders or two waterjets? BTW looks stable, seems to have nice piloting platform, safe/strong. What material? Steel perhaps? Also, what's the intended purpose? Coast Guard/Military? I'd like it as a passagemaker perhaps.

    No they are propellarpods, i was thinking that they are sitting in a triangel

    Is this a narrow catamaran?
    No its a singel hull boat

    Decided not to go stealth, any reason behind that?
    The use of this ship was in my mind to be a ambulance/rescue boat with alot of room forward to easy load onboard people

    It's Coast Guard inspired, so it's really military, right?
    Well i guess it can be military too but that wasnt my main purpose

    very nice.... looks like a good stable hull, love the huge foredeck and the lack of clutter. Having a big clear deck around the boat like that would be realy helpful in rescue work. I like the triple-pod idea and the agility it'd give. Looks like the kind of thing I'd want to be in on the REALLY rough seas!
