    I was thinking too it looks like a tall ship with not that much draught at all. The CG probably sits tall. So this could be a happy roller.. Also valid point from Squidly with such the long sloping bow sitting above water, it could be easy nose pitching into an unexpected rough wave. Looks like they're thinking along the line of a lux fishing vessel type party boat. Might the design be better off as displacement instead of planing? (maybe even adding a bulbous for sanities)..
    putting practical aspects aside, I thought the aesthetic look must had been inspired by a leaping dolphin or something like that. does look cute to me.

    This isn't for practical, this is for impressing everyone in sight as you pull up to the dock. If the glass is impractical, just use this one at night and have a different tender to shuttle you during the sunny times.

    I'm with Ike(teehee), and I like boats of all kinds. It looks like a 60' speedboat to me. I have a vision of eating a trough hard at 40mph and anything or anyone not tied down flying. I'd rather have a self righting vessel with seatbelts and air cushion ride from Safehaven Marine for the money rolled out.

    Hi. I'm here for the first time. I need professionals' opinion.
    Our company is gonna buy glass bottom boat for operating in Bulgaria.
    We found this Russian company - Paritetboat . They produce high-speed yachts with large bottom glass.
    Does anybody knows anything about them or saw boats alive?
