Eek Nice Boat
Custom made Gravois hull. 800 gallons of fuel and they expect it to top out between 75-80mph. It is a prototype for the homeland security out of Grand Isle.

Going that fast......I would think the edges on the T-top should be more rounded to cut down on drag.

Is that some kind of "cut out" on the hull above the tires?

The seats look like something you would see in a airplane.

It's a 42 foot Gravois- Metal Shark they are bringing it to the Florida boat show hoping the DEA law enforcement sighns a contract to build more. It was built in jeannerette.

What exactly do the notches on the bottom of the hull do? I saw this on another boat the other day. I'm sure it's a performance issue, but what excactly? anyone know?

Stepped Hull, boat is designed to run on that portion for the hull for peak preformance. It's a badazz design for sure, most of the offshore racing boats use the same type hull and I believe Contender,Fountain,ect.

I know the Fountains have it for sure, one of my buddies has a Fountain and his is the stepped hull.

They build very well made boats indeed. I have worked on a few and they are built to last for sure.

I'd be scared to ride in that bad boy. with seats like that, I think that thing is liable to go into orbit with WOT

Cut out above the tires is a rescue door.
