A New Toy!

Tweeee-eeeeet...
Now hear this!
Captain Yoli speaking...
I realize that this won't be "controversial" (unless you hate boats that burn gas and the vehicles that tow them.) but I just had to show off what we've just ordered from the firm that made the boat we now have. BG is paying for it, of course but your Yoli will be Commanding Officer.
Take a looky-poo...21'5" long, 94" inch beam, and will have a 300HP on the stern. Neither of the boats shown reflect the color scheme as ordered.

The red boat alongside the Jaguar (7th pic) is the same model, "Puma", we have now...20'9" and seems tiny by comparison because of the wider beam of the front casting deck on the new model.
While I'm not too thrilled with the clamshell look of the driver's console, the setup and instrumentation is amazing, especially the built-in rear-view mirrors on either side and the side-scan imaging underwater "radar" in the center There'll be a duplicate linked unit on the bow as well.
The windshield, when installed, will conceal most of the "clam" from the front.
The primary color will be "Cream" and where you see Blue on one test boat will be Crimson in a fine-grained metallic custom ordered to match the helmets worn by The University of Oklahoma "Sooners" football team...BG's alma mater, y'see and the fine trim will be Silver. The "boot"...bottom...will be dark gray
Top speed will approach 80MPH, BTW, although ONLY in emergencies such as running from weather, going to the aid of others, or chasing down (and running over...I wish!) rude waterskiers, jetskiers, and other jerks.
Well, now to wait for at least two months for delivery...sniff.
All hands return to normal duties.

I'd certainly accept, and arrive with beer or the beverage of your choice in-tow!
