Some video highlights at this years FLIB provided by Broncoguru. (He also does the boneheaded boaters of the week series.)

The 32 Cutwater had a unique way of providing more seating room with extendable seats that unfolded over the gunwale. It's at the 1:47 mark.

The ice chest that also doubles as an air conditioner for the cabin was also interesting.

The Diesel outboards were a big draw.

I really like the duoprop on an outboard. Let's see more of that. :D

Enjoy....

Based on the scale of people vs boat i just dont see that this boat warrants twins. It looks smaller than an R7

Still would really like to know actual overall length. They probably didnt want to call it an A27 lol

Thanks for the pics L14s. Looks sharp from the side. A little too chiseled for my taste but the colors are sharp. Are you sure this isn't the A29? It appears to be the same boat...

That was one of the reasons they had to cancel the demo at TRL. they were having issues and had to go back to the garmin
