Hey Jay,
Any idea what this odd pontoon boat is all about ?

Appears that the center console and deck area are stabilized.

Thanks for the close up shot of that Velodyne Marine Martini 1.5 :thumbsup

Visiting their website was certainly worth the trip.

That thing was interesting. It was the one 'boat' I really wanted to ride.

Here's something else worth riding... :thumbsup

What the heck is this contraption?

Innovation.

It looks like a motion compensating pontoon boat to me. That is probably a fantastic idea for taking a pontoon offshore.

Yes, very cool. I overheard some talk at the dock that it was an experimental prototype.
Watching the video, I think I know where the name of the boat came from. :champagne::champagne::champagne:

Jay you told me there was a hottie on the Vandutch, and when we went over there, there was some haggard old blonde on the boat.. LOL I was thinking WTF? I guess maybe Jay has different taste then most? LOL

Apparently you were talking about this one.. Which was not on the boat when we went over there. :D

Some of the manufacturers have taken custom fabrication to a new level.

These lights are on the new 52 MTI, BLACK DIAMOND.
They are most definitely NOT off-the-shelf items.

The new 52 MTI has some over-the-top features...
the red led's that outline the engine hatches are not boat show lighting effects- they are embedded into the deck.

Hey Jay, do you have pics of the mystic? Some are saying the canopy looks funky. Just wanted to get perspective on it. The pics I've seen, it looks great!

Yes, I got a few, Tank... no time this morning to process anything- heading over to Card Sound shortly to catch the poker run.
Here's a shot into the cockpit.

The photo is what it is. :cool

I can tell you that Tony and Win were not pushing those engines AT ALL when they came under the bridge.
I didn't have my Card Sound to Biscayne Bay lens with me, so I cannot say what happened earlier.
Stray Cat threw a belt, so no running shots of them- but I've got a good approach shot of that second pack.

Stay tuned, this was another beautiful day in the Keys and I got 1200 shots to prove it. :champagne:

Here's the pack behind the DCB. That first one is a turbine-powered MTI.

Thanks, man... let me say thanks to my sponsors.
Their help is removing a lot of pressure and allowing me to take more time at the events.

I also feel fine with an occasional wallpaper- pix are meant to be shared.
