OK! nice hull now the details:
What kind of power----- gas or diesel----drives etc....
If they have two more already going the power should be on pallets in the shop:D :D .
Given the trailer has drive extensions to protect the drives I assume gas with No. 6's.
Kinda weird it's on the trailer without having been rigged for power.

Just as I suspected Watson!
Hmmm! gets me thinking why not the new 1200---Merc should be cutting deals on those as I do not see the orders flying out of Wisconsin :D .
Just a thought!!!--- thanks for the follow-up--- keep posting photos of the progress.

This boat is very nice in person! I stopped by GT yesterday and it was out in the sun. The gel looked very nice.
The boat is being rigged at GT Performance with twin gas and #6's. Should be a runner.
Very nice lines, always liked the 43' Scarab. They used to come with big twins or triples.

The red/orange #1 has Merc 700's and NXT Drives. Seats will be "air-ride" style, with stand-up bolsters (as I understand it). Interior will have a flushing head, with lots of other amenities. Lots of "first-time" fabrication going on to develop the model... :cool:

Those are some sick looking boats. You guys are doing a great job with them. Can't wait to see them in the water and read up on some numbers that they are putting down.
