Blackfeather's production facility is just down the street from me, and I
know Gregor, the owner, pretty well.  If anyone wants a second set of eyes
to look at something on this boat I'm happy to do so.  No vested interest.

Until recently I owned an outboard-powered cat of a comparable size so I'm
pretty familiar with that configuration.  Gregor is a highly-regarded local
shipwright with a lot of years of experience under his belt.  He builds a
quality product.

Fuel consumption numbers look a bit low to me, but Gregor's boats are very
light and they don't have a lot of cabin on them.  I suspect once a full
cruising-ready cabin with all of the accoutrements is mounted on those hulls
the numbers will change a fair amount.
