Did anyone see the Bluefin 24 widebody? Anything to report?

I didn't make it to Providence, but I wanted to, if for no other reason than I wanted to see this baby in person. That and the Black Lab welded aluminum boats look rugged to me.

The next 2 years are going to be brutal on the boating business. Last tough cycle was probably 1991-1993 when the real estate market collapsed? This looks to be worse I'd say...

Light weight and pound from what I hear.
Love them though, especially for a research type vessel. just bolt equipment on, no fiberglass to deal with!

They are wicked WET and pound like a drum.

Zero maintainance though.
