And now that huge outboard engines seem to be the go-to power source for anything under about 40 feet, they can offer serious performance too.

Mounting the engines all the way aft confers other advantages too, of course, freeing up space both in and under the cockpit, where the folding table is big enough to seat ten for lunch, according to the builders.
The expansive bathing platform is still a practical space in spite of the encroaching engines, while wide side decks lead safely forward from the cockpit to a sunlounging and seating area on the bow.
