Coolest boat ever. Look at that super high tower lookout and the pretty yellow hull.

I can see trim tabs and cylinders in the top of the prop tunnels @ 1:00 not in use , the boats parting the sea's fine with out them !

[@mulletmasher]

[@nipponoze]

Anyone know what the music track is and who is the artist ?

[@edgu71eg]

.... something about trim tabs

[@TheBigWWI]

If you want to gain a better definition of "running great" and "trimmed just fine" look at Bayliss. There are some Sportfish boats that come close like Merrit and Spencer but nothing runs flatter and more efficient than a Bayliss. This Hatteras looks like she's running up hill and is about 20,000# overweight, the giant hole behind the transom and massive roostertail and wake proves it...

[@padwtf]

Zeker why would he use tabs boat seems to be running great! Tabs down and those waves are going to go over the bow. Not something that you want!

zeker246810 is not a boater, he's a youtuber... The boat is trimmed just fine. As a matter of fact, the new tunnel designs I'm seeing are awesome. Raising the X dimension of the props is genius. You really don't even need tabs with this design. The props are so much higher into the boat, the back of the hull acts like one big trim tab... And the speeds they are getting now is amazing...

I am weirdly aroused by the sight of sleek, sexy ass boats in rough water. Pounding forcefully through wet, wet oceans. Their massive diesel engines pumping hard and fast. Is it just me ?? Am I alone here ??
