A single Volvo diesel stern drive. Currently, the D6 is avail. at 330 and 370 HP ratings as a stern drive. I have an insider who told me a 400 HP is to be avail. soon. So I'm planning on a D6-400 DPR.

Nice looking boat! Will the difference in the lowest set of strakes have any effect on handling?

Good eye! I have a few minor repairs to clean up on the bottom, you noticed one of them. Overall, the hull, especially the bottom, is very true. I will likely cut back the lift strakes a few feet, or to a point where they are balanced.
 
hi there i am also building a bandido, any hints or fixes i need to know about? i am powering mine with twin merc 165's at 200hp each...also with efi upgrades... was thinking bout a half canopy modification though... any advice will be welcomed thanks.
 
Any updates?

Of all the pics I have, I picked 13 to best show the development of the framing, the skin layers and how the raised sheer and deck came together. Remember, I am very much the amature builder, I really did not know what I was doing when I started this project.

Hi. I am interested in the Bandito. I am trying to view your photos. But there is a red x that appears on the photo to bring up the photo. Can you help me.
Thanks Frank Miller
