Plan view is interesting...

No side deck to speak of so more room downstairs, inside will be huge.

Nice swimming pool - but I assume the water comes out under way!

Bet it looks ugly from the side

IIRC, some Carver models have a similar arrangement, and there are very few uglier boats than those.

urrgh, good job we don't all like the same thing... that is one fugly boat.

Hate it. How do you handle lines, especially Med bow lines for stern to mooring and second, how do you hang fenders? Doesn't look much better from the side either

Reminds me a bit of the old Hoverspeed cross channel hovercraft

I wondered about mooring lines and fenders as well?

Quote from the ad':- Designed to navigate in severe seas with safety, comfort and the sophistication of a luxury beach house. Great handling then!:ambivalence:

Nice to see something different for a change. Takes some getting used to, but the side view is not as hopeless as could have been feared.

They call it a Sport Trawler, whatever that is. Or a "SUY" ?? Sport Utility Yacht maybe?

Don't see fenders being a problem. I guess they could hang from the somewhat higher deck railings

Med mooring practices will not be a problem either..... since it's unlikely any of these boats will find their way to Europe

Definitely a better attempt at innovation than e.g. Astondoa's 63ft Top Deck horror. I wonder if Astondoa ever sold any of those?

Astondoa's 63ft Top Deck horror. I wonder if Astondoa ever sold any of those?

According to Boat International they sold at least one to Enrique Ramirez as a party/suport boat to his Astonoa 95. He also worked with Astondoa on the design of the top deck, so could as well be a one off.
