Interesting article in Forbes this month about BMW's venture into using hybrid technology combined with hydrofoil running. I could see Ytmsn sportin' his tux while cruising out to lunch with the Mrs. 8-)

Nice Share A7.. How about a Kit for T to upgrade and keep his sweet ride?

So what would be worse...Hitting a submerged log with a standard "V" hull or a Hydrofoil leg..mmmmmmmm?

Oh my my. Could you even imagine Matt? That would be Liquids luck, going through the time and expense for a setup like this and then snag a lot just under the water!

Nice find A7. That boat is boomdiggitty
