Also those newsletter photos maybe not up to magazine levels of professionalism, the first image posted is an odd angle, others look better.
Odd angle doesn't do it, there's defo something wrong with it.





It's like those lazer 917's.. it just looks awkward (though this 904 is much much better looking and not as far off from the real thing than the lazers were)

One of the guys at the club just brought his adult size boat from the New England area, decided to Moore it at the Fort Lauderdale Yacht club. They informed him that he had about a 1/4 tank of fuel and asked if he wanted it filled . $5,600 later it was topped off.

Thanks, now I clearly see it. He lost some of the curves, made it look like a cardboard cut-out by comparison. Guess those old 2D drawings didn't truly capture the 3D curves or they were inaccurate, or he didn't faithfully follow them? Who knows?
