Boat Designers

just saw this boat in one of the rainy amsterdam canals, forgot right now what the good name for such a stern is, more at http://www.cougar.nl

 

Ms Ii

The beauty is back from the future....sexier and faster than ever!
55ft 2x2300Hp gastubines, surfs, retractable LCD glass top,
carbonhull with mahogany.....

 

which estimated speed ?

 

160mph+

 

Congratulations, exciting project !

 

Is that Legal?

 

The speed or what?

 

To do such questions....

 

its a true sea javelin
more pics?

 

Does anyone have an Idea weather this boat could be scaled down to fit in a Sealand cargo box?

Would be a fantastic traveling summer cottage / inshore cruiser.

With no effort (only cash) could be in the next location, almost at wish.

How can u see the speed meter if the thing is travelling at 160mph..... blurr vision. I did once 160 Km/h on a bike and I cant see the meter.

 

watching the speedmeter is not the most important thing to do when going
160Mpa and just because of a high topspeed it doesnt mean you always have to ride this speed.
Its a pure speed machine on water, nothing more nothing less
The top speed is no problem at calm water.

hmmm... think i would prefer a little more beam and cabin, little less topspeed with smaller gasturbines (with carpet in between ) radar and and and....
but whats a retractable LCD glass top any links?

 

Joop, are you afraid of speed or do you need such a roomy saloon :?:
Just kidding, I love your combitop design and with so much glass it could be
hot like a cheese box in the cockpit. Liquide crystals in glass to stop sunrays is not a new innovation but I never seen it in a boat. With combat flight headup display in windshield you even could see when you go trough the sound barrier,
Retractable system is a further development of the Porsche Targa system.
