    No wait... one step further...

    "That thing got a Hemi?"

    Picture it: Orange hull, 01 on the side, Confederate Flag on top.... and that horn!

    :D

    You are right Loren, the MoonEyes makes her an Hotrod. I even had them on my bicycle when i was a kid, together with the clip and cardboard to create a scaring sound...!

    We´ll see if this concept will go ahead, it would be nice to have a model built to start with...

    Edit; perhaps we should all have RC-models in our own colors, Kevins in orange then... :)

    Nah, I'd take black on black, with brushed alum stripe personally. No chrome, no polished alum... all carbon fiber or anodized "black" chrome.

    Well, there you go, Lars-- I envision a whole fleet of the same basic 55 but differing from one another with custom stuff/paint jobs... the mind boggles at all the possibilities.

    I envisage a much smaller version, about 8M to 9M, plying the canals of Venice, and other such places, as a waterborne limosine, pulling up to a jetty of a high class hotel or casino, a gentleman and his lady existing for a night at the high roller table. Powered by a pair of the new Volvos with the tractor dualprops and joystick control. Hell, even an electric version, a pair of podded drives with fly by wire, and Lithium ion polymer battery pack, with a quietened generator for longer trips, silently moving the elite between their homes and places of business and entertainment on the canals, which have speed restrictions anyway. As such it would make a good water taxi for a megayacht as well.

    Hi Enigma,

    The hybrid powered smaller version is also on my mind. I made another such concept in 2004, looking like this:

    It hasn't the "look" of the former, I was thinking more waterborne retro water taxi/limo, maybe even with the driver/helm in the open in front of the enclosed cabin.

    I have taken your black 55-footer and placed her as a tender to the 100 m "Teaser". She looks very small suddenly...:confused:

    "She looks very small suddenly..."

    AMG, to mess up a line from Goldilocks, not too large and not too small, just right!
    You really scored a good one with this design.

    Since I first posted the 100 m "Teaser", I have been playing with shadow effects in my drawing program (Freehand MX) and this is the result. Not bad, eventhough not exactly the way I wanted all of it, but next time I will use the right tools already from the beginning to get a better result...

    Shadows in the bow area are really convincing.

    D33 SW for fall 2008

    In a couple of days the Stockholm Boat Show opens and we will show the four commuters we have today and also this rendering of the next model.

    It will be a little more of a family boat, with a large galley up and two cabins below. Still with a pretty low profile, light weight construction with a hull similar to the 29´and 40´which have proven to be fast and economical to run.

    She is intended for a single VolvoPenta D6/370 hp, but can be fitted with twin D4/300 if somebody insists...

    You are the first to see the coming D33 SideWalk:

    All the best with the show.
    The more often I look at these the more sense that they make.
    Any chance that the radar arch could be hinged in such a way that it could be dropped rearwards for additional clearance or would this be a structural issue?

    Thanks Codger, and yes, on three models we have the radar arches hinged for the road transports and all can be hinged on request.

    Yes Jannick, the second cabin is down to the left with a double bed. It is not the largest but OK for sleeping. Our concept is to have fast boats why the interior volume is a little limited, this one will top at between 40 and 50 knots depending on engines, with cruising speeds of 35 to 45 knots.

    We have probably the lowest fuel consumption on the market which is a good thing these days.

    nice to hear :)

    is there any website for your boats jet? i think you should promote them on the internet (as well as you're doing in the forum)
