Any one had anything to do with these. From down south I think.
Looks like they stuff a whole lot of boat into not much Area but it looks like it works.
Can anyone comment?

If I had a criticism, it is that they have what I would consider to be pointlessly long portofino transoms/swimsteps. As a result the cockpit is severely reduced. The space between the transom wall and the end of the hardtop on the 7 metre is laughable, I would say fishing 4 out of it would be cramped which for a boat that big is just silly.

Looks way more fun than being stuck down there watching bloody kids rowing,
Cheers.

Ha watched the whole thing. Brought me back 35years or so when i would go with the old man to work dropping them into the water with his mobile crane. No osh **** back then, would sit on the crane and watch while he lifted and retrieved boats. Got lots of freebies from the teams. Boss mobil 1, Radical rat, shamrock, and crc latimer just to name a few. They would get you out to the spot and back damn quick, but dont know what you would be able to do when you got there tho! And most definetly scare the **** out of your mates sitting on the back.
However I feel like this is not the hydro boats being referred to!!!!!
