I don’t often take pictures of other boats, but when I do…

Great designs, both the 64 & 78’s. They have over a 5,500 mile range. A few years ago a group of FPBs rallied in Antarctica. Steve Dashew has quit designing and is now out cruising.

Niiiice!

Reminds me of the S.S. Minnow of Gilligan's Island.

One intended part of the design is that the boat look vaguely military - including the unpainted aluminum and many levels. In the 3rd world ports Steve liked to go, military boats get a lot of respect from the locals.

The narrow, square sided design is also incredibly slippery. Amazing fuel range.

If you want pretty, this isn’t your boat.

If I want pretty, my boat isn’t my boat. Ha ha ha. (Cosmetic Hurricane damage)

I'm impressed! Thanks Montanan.
What is even more impressive (@ 7:38),he states 16L/hr per engine @ 1500RPM-32 L/hr total!

That is only 7 Imp gal-8.5 USgal / hr.
