Pretty impressive but I'm still suspect of the little disclaimer that the console and leaning post were only placed in there for looks and don't mind the fact that they nearly jumped out of the boat.

Totally agree. That same thing came to my mind ... especially when I saw how far they jumped when they dropped it.

Geez, you know that is the problem with being the new kid on the block. Try and make a superior product and every naysayer from the competition to casual observer will try to rip you apart.
I have been looking at various articles and blogs on Sea Hunter Boats. One guy has had to consistently take his 40' back to the factory for repairs. Certain tournament fishermen beat the snot out of them and have had to go back a lot. Factory direct so that is where all service happens. Can you imagine putting the hammer down across 40 miles of 10 footers because that is where the fish are? Breaking a trim ram on the motor and having it poke a hole in the crankcase? Breaking the T-top?
No thanks, I ain't going.
I like the video, looks like the Bennett twin rams bite the dust at a 100 times gravity. And the console and leaning post need to be fastened back down. LOL
Narrow? 9' 10" beam. You could still trailer it on the road with a permit. 35' Contender 10' beam - 33' See Vee 9' beam - 34' Sea Vee 10' beam - 35' Hydra Sport 10' 4" beam - 34' Fountain 9'6" beam - 38' Fountain - 10'6" beam (My dream boat) They all run to the narrow side but the ones I have been on are solid in the rocking and rolling department.
That SOB bounced twice, give them a break..

wow, that hull bounced when it hit the concrete. That means it's one really strong hull.
