Maybe we should start our own custom boat company? Anyone have accessible capital? Im in. Well call it Kobalt...lol

Seriously what are these words I'm reading.

so there is a boat show in tampa on the 21st. Think that is when they will show off the new A series?

Marine turbos...my money would be on integrated manifold/turbo assemblies like they do on some production vehicles. Then they share a water jacket. Current exhaust manifolds are water cooled, no reason they couldn't do the same with a turbo manifold, nothing crazy needed to keep the heat down. Water jacketed turbo/manifold assembly, water-to-air intercooler, and you're all set. No reason they can't set the engines up run under constant boost either. Boost by itself isn't hard on an engine, all boost is is air that's pressurized beyond ambient. So a motor running 3 lbs of boost at 7000 ft may have the same absolute pressure on the internals that a naturally aspirated motor does at sea level. It's just a way of cramming more air into the cylinders. When you have more air, you can add more fuel, and that makes a bigger bang when the spark plug does it's thing.

Come on turbo marine engines!!! Nearly all the downsides of a turbo in a car are mitigated by the unlimited supply of cool water laying around

Most turbo vehicles are going this way for emissions reasons (the cats heat up very fast when they are that close to the cylinders).

Not to mention that the wake will be nice and warm at the beginning of the season when the water's a bit chill.

Well they just posted this. HMMMM

Thanks for the share Tgrace

Nice cbr side entry cabin with skylight. I’m guessing 32ft . Nice to see more!

Looks...well...I am not sure how the hell it looks. I can tell you Katie would have to dock that, that curved front bow walk through would totally mess with my head.

My guess would be something to compete with the formula crossover bow rider

Nauti- I’m guessing by the length of the bow this is a 2 motor boat

It will be revealed in Dallas on 10-18 at the Gaylord resort

Tim...where did you see this?

Hmm... guess I'm gonna have to wait until next month to decide on the new boat. Has me curious, thanks for sharing!

You’ve got time. As long as you get your order in before the boat shows start in January you will get it before summer

Whatever it is, it’s big. I agree TG, looks like it’s aimed at a 35 crossover.

FWIW, quick and dirty, here is more detail in the darkened areas.
