Over 30 years ago we built our first exceptional custom powerboat. During the 30 years that followed, we learned a tremendous amount about boat building, power configurations, interior features, modern technologies, driver/passenger comfort, performance, and safety, and it is all incorporated into Liquid Glass Powerboats. The Liquid Glass 41 Luxury Cat is our latest creation. Starting with the boat mold and finishing with delivery to you, we have used the finest materials, technologies, power, and styling to build spectacular powerboats. We invite you to learn more about our products, our Company, our exceptional focus we place on the customer, and our boat building philosophies which separate Liquid Glass Powerboats from all others. 3 The Story of Liquid Glass Powerboats 30 Years of Custom Powerboat Building Experience In 1979, Randy Schultz built and sold his first custom powerboat. His initial powerboat designs and quality of construction became so sought after he created a company committed to building exceptional, custom, hand-built yet technologically advanced powerboats. Becoming an Icon For the next 30 years, Randy and his company, Profile Custom Powerboats, sold more than 550 boats, with models ranging from 26-40 feet (7.9-12.2 meters), throughout the world. Staying true to custom powerboat building, not one of his boats was an identical duplicate of another. The ‘no-copies’ policy ensured all owners received a one-of-a-kind powerboat and simultaneously protected the resale value of the boats. Over the years, the quality, performance, and meticulous attention to his customers transformed Randy into a powerboat building industry icon. International Recognition Liquid Glass Powerboats and Profile Custom Powerboats have been featured and tested to critical acclaim on countless occasions in Hot Boat Magazine, Powerboat Magazine, Extreme Boats Magazine, Family and Performance Boating Magazine, and was featured on the American Boater Television Show. Re-Defining the Powerboat In early 2005, Randy Schultz sold Profile Powerboats and joined forces with David and Ryan Kratz to form Liquid Glass Powerboats. The mission of this new venture with deep, experienced roots was to construct the finest, custom-built luxury powered catamarans in the world. Innovation Meets Experience The results are clear. Liquid Glass Powerboats has united the timeless with the cutting edge. Thirty years of refined boat-building techniques, high performance optimization, and meticulous attention to detail and customer service are matched with innovative designs, modern materials, state-of-the-art technologies, unparalleled reliability, and unlimited customized creativity. Revolutionaries Never Quit Liquid Glass Powerboats is defying convention by uniting performance powerboating with recreational boating with no compromises in performance, comfort, or safety. We think it is the best of both worlds. In addition to superb on-water performance and cutting edge styling, our below-bow cabin design is unique in catamarans. Our cockpits and cabins are luxuriously appointed with features found more commonly on luxury yachts. Customers First…Always We hope you are inspired by our products and our attention to customer service. And we invite you to learn about our company, our boat building philosophy, and ultimately enjoy the experience of owning a Liquid Glass Powerboat. 4 A Powerboating Visionary’s Ideal Boat The 41 Luxury Cat “For 10 years I’ve been building this boat in my head,” commented Randy Schultz, chief designer and co-founder of Liquid Glass Powerboats. Offering insight into why he began the process of building the 41’ Cat, “I wanted to build not only a world-class boat with the best materials; I wanted it to be as unique as our customers. But it had to be perfect in every way, beginning with the aspects the customer rarely sees. With the help of my brother-in-law and his wonderfully precise CNC machine, we first made a plug. Then we used a technique called direct infusion molding to make the perfect hull. This boat is ideal in every way. You can’t build something like this by hand and have it symmetrically perfect and optimized for weight and performance, but this one is.” With a technically perfect mold and best-in-class hull, Randy turned his attention to rigging this new Cat. “The first boat was powered with a pair of Mercury Racing’s new 700s and NXT drive system. It was plenty fast, but this boat is not about all out speed. We’ll put any engine package into this boat the customer wants, but engines are just a part of the story. We’ve optimized the center of gravity, we use a proprietary custom engine mounting for easy access and removal, and we’ve simplified the rigging process with modern technologies.” “We offer some of the luxuries and comforts never before found on a boat like this,” commented Randy. He advises prospective customers, “Think about the perfect boat. How do you want it to drive? How do you want it to handle? When you glance down to the dash, how should it be designed for best viewing? How much comfort should there be in the seats and the cabin? Where should the storage be and how much? What does the interior fit and finish look and feel like? Should the boat be extra-flashy or luxuriously-understated or maybe there really is a perfect balance? Then you have described this boat. Nothing, and I mean nothing, was left to chance.” Randy summed it up, “After 30 years in the custom powerboat-building business, I’m so proud of this Cat. We’ve built this boat to the highest quality, safety, design, performance, and materials. And most of all, I’m always excited at the prospects of working with each unique customer to create the exact boat that matches their unique personalities, uses, and lifestyle.” 5 # 6 Best-In-Class Molds Yield Best-In-Class Hulls The quality and precision of a boat mold directly influences the quality, longevity, durability, and aesthetics of the hull. This behind-the-scenes step, while not usually visible to the customer, is the backbone of the high-performance powerboat. Hand Built Loses Appeal There are several methods for boat mold construction. The hand built method is an antiquated process. Hand-construction yields inconsistent quality and imprecise edges. It forces the designer to ‘cheat’ on rounding the edges because it is an imprecise science. The Future: CNC The cutting edge method uses a CNC machine to precisely design and build the mold. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and refers to a computer controller that reads electronic instructions and drives a powered mechanical device used to fabricate the mold. Precise Edges With CNC machines, curves are as easy to cut as straight lines, complex 3-D structures are easy to produce, and the number of machining steps that require human action are dramatically reduced. Zero Errors, Every Time Deck skin and gel coat applied With CNC machining, considerable improvements in consistency and quality are achieved. CNC automation reduces the frequency of errors. Advanced error detections are integrated into CNC machining to prevent problems before they occur. The Result What does this all mean to the finished boat? With the extreme precision of CNC produced parts and laser and sensor checked measurements, the most superior boat mold is created. Edges are perfect, rounded corners are identical, and body lines are exactly straight. Our molds are perfectly constructed with zero defects which yields a uniform, precise, high-durability, low-weight hull. And our mold designs are unique to Liquid Glass Powerboats only. Investing for the Future The downside to all this? CNC machining is extremely expensive and requires advanced expertise. Liquid Glass Powerboats believes so greatly in the benefits of this superior technology that we made the investment in a CNC-machined mold so that we can continue producing the finest Cats in the world. Ask our competitors how they built their molds, then view their molds and our molds and hulls for yourself, and compare the difference. It’s remarkable.

Hull construction and performance is critical. Proprietary Hulls Our boat hulls were designed and constructed by Liquid Glass Powerboats from scratch in our factory. The hulls are exclusively unique and proprietary to the Company. Out with the Old Liquid Glass Powerboats has technologically leapfrogged the antiquated, less-precise technologies of vacuum-bagging and hand laying hulls. These techniques yield lower quality hull reliability, performance, and reduced aesthetics. Vacuum bagging and hand laying yields a resin to glass ratio of 60% resin to 40% fiberglass (at best), which is far from ideal. Hull strength is achieved from fiberglass, not from resin. Resin only makes a boat heavier, not stronger. The Future: Infusion Molding We • • • • build boats using infusion molding. The concept works as follows: Fiberglass reinforcement is placed in a mold set The mold is closed and clamped Resin is injected into the mold cavity under pressure View the photos at right for the individual steps of infusion molding Core layer applied to deck The motive force is pressure therefore, the pressure in the mold cavity is higher than atmospheric pressure. In contrast, vacuum bagging methods use vacuum as the motive force, and the pressure in the mold cavity is lower than atmospheric pressure. Once infused, the fiber cures with exact durability, quality, and volume specifications, leaving nothing to chance or variability. The result is a remarkable 70% fiberglass to 30% resin ratio. The entire process is environmentally clean and friendly with no toxic emissions. Infusion Molding Benefits Infusion molding yields: • 45% improvement in hull strength • 100% improvement in hull stiffness and rigidity • 46% weight reduction The technique’s hallmark quality is repeatable and consistent performance. Outcome is never dependent on an operator’s skill. Compare Ask our competitors how they build their hulls. Then test the superiority of a hull built by infusion molding. The advantages are remarkable. 8 Peel ply installation Manifold feed lines installation Ready for infusion process Infusion process has begun Hull infusion complete 9 Engines Power It’s what turns an otherwise average boating experience into something exhilarating. Liquid Glass Powerboats continues a longstanding tradition of working closely with the largest marine engine supplier globally to ensure each set of engines are optimized and matched to the boat it propels. Mercury Racing, a division of Mercury Marine, is recognized worldwide for its commitment to building high-performance marine race engines for the discriminating boater. But engines by themselves only make up a portion of a catamaran’s overall performance. At Liquid Glass Powerboats, no detail goes unnoticed. Our engine mounts are specifically designed and customized to accommodate a variety of engine packages. The aluminum rail system heavy-duty mounts work to keep vibration to a minimum. Engine wiring is easy to access and color-coded. Engines aren’t just about speed. A variety of power plants are available to ensure performance, speed, efficiency, and usability are accurately matched to the owner’s needs. 700 SCi: The Mercury Racing 700 SCi with 700 horsepower is one of Mercury’s newest configurations. The 700 SCi features a copper-nickel alloy intercooler, a microalloy crankshaft with enhanced durability and strength, and a new camshaft design that allows for increased valve lift for enhanced power and torque. The engine features the all new dry-sump NXT1 drive and transmission designed and developed exclusively by Mercury Racing. Engine aesthetics are new with the carbon fiber reservoir covers, polished pulleys, and selected components painted slate grey. Overall, twin 700 SCi’s result in a superbly quick engine package on any body of water. 850 SCi: The Mercury Racing 850 SCi engine with 850 horsepower is based on its venerable bigger brother, the 1075 SCi. A pair of Lysholm twin screw superchargers, combined with multiport fuel injection (two injectors per cylinder), provide sport boaters with turn-key starting, great overall running quality and incredibly smooth idle quality for a high horsepower big block. Shifting into and out of gear is smooth as silk with the engine’s 800 RPM idle speed, making docking a pleasant experience. The design features a low profile to reduce the engine’s center of gravity. Aesthetically a new style billet aluminum pulleys anodized in Mercury Racing’s brilliant blue are complemented by matching valve covers. Composite supercharger air inlet resonators and engine covers complete the styling of the 850 SCi. The 850 SCi offers the best of both worlds: a refined engine coupled with tremendous raw performance. 10 1200 SCi: The 1200 SCi is Mercury’s ferocious, premier race engine. The engine, featuring the legendary dry-sump Six drive, is the most powerful consumer sterndrive (1,200 horsepower) ever built by Mercury Racing. Based on a high performance 557-cubic inch V-8 cylinder block, the 1200 SCi features a pair of Lysholm twin screw super chargers with multiport fuel injection (two injectors per cylinder). New Mercury Racing and engine model graphics adorn the carbon fiber top cover and valve covers. Polished pulleys and clear anodized hose fittings put the finishing touches on what is the ultimate in high performance sterndrive marine propulsion. Think of it as a street legal race engine available to you. 1075 SCi: The 1075 SCi with its massive 1,075 horsepower is immensely powerful and fast. The 1075 SCi features a pair of Lysholm twin screw superchargers with multi-port fuel injection, providing sport boaters with turn-key starting, incredible idling, great running quality, and smooth as silk shifting. Bold new graphics, carbon fiber valve covers, and new style anodized billet aluminum pulleys complete the aesthetic package. The 1075 SCi truly offers a unique, one-of-kind high-performance catamaran experience. Additional Customization: If these engines don’t meet your needs for power, others are available. No matter which engine package is selected, further customization is always an option. And once you’ve selected your power option, we make sure that it is visibly impressive and easily accessible. Even our engine hatch covers are electrically operated and open to the rear of the boat, a thoughtful design feature when access to the engine compartment is necessary. Inside the engine compartment is a spacious, intelligently designed substructure with ample room throughout. 662 SCi (European): The Mercury EU662 SCi is exclusively designed for the European market. With 662 horsepower, the 662 SCi meets the requirements of the European Union’s CE Recreational Craft Directive (RCD), including the recent 2003/44/EC amendment for exhaust emissions. The engines also comply with the EU’s Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. Meeting the combination of these directives e nables the 662 SCi engines to be CE marked. The 662 SCi is the highest horsepower marine engine certified for sale in the EU. It shares all of the game-changing technology of its North American counterpart – the 700 SCi. Engine packages come standard with the NXT1 drive for both close-couple and drive-line installations. The new NXT1 SSM drive, featuring the drysump Six drive coupled to the NXT1 transom plate and the dry-sump NXT1 transmission, is available as well. 11 Luxury Interiors 12 Dashboard The dashboard is where driver and boat connect. Liquid Glass Powerboats has designed and built its dash to be functional with easy to read gauges placed in the right locations all while being visually appealing. That’s the way a dashboard should be. Gauges Whether you opt for the left-hand-drive or right-hand-drive setup, at the center sits Mercury’s VesselView Race Edition flat panel display. VesselView displays vital engine information in real time. Drivers can monitor more than 20 screens for readouts on speed, RPMs, engine temperatures, trim positions, trip history logs, and engine efficiencies to name just a few. The screens are waterproof, easy to read, and fail safe. A standard large-screen, color GPS system provides directional support virtually anywhere in the world and integrates with our custom video and audio systems seamlessly. Switches and gauges are heavy-duty, marine-grade for long lasting durability. Throttles Engine throttles are purposefully placed at the center of the console, for unobstructed operation and easy access by the driver or throttleman. Even the dash-piece itself is aesthetically designed. While virtually any background is available, we have chosen a unique carbon fiber dash plate that is weather-resistant, long lasting, and uniquely pleasing to the eye. 13 Luxury Interiors Cockpit Luxury and customization come alive in our cockpit and cabins. Our standard features are often not even found in other catamarans. At the helm, as you sit in our seats you will n otice they aren’t ordinary seats. They are the envy of our competition. Liquid Glass heavy-duty seats are custom upholstered, bolstered for support, comfortable after hours on the water (standing or seated), and feature 8-way power adjustments for optimum positioning. Below dash in the footwells, power footrests adjust fore and aft and tilt vertically to further increase comfort. Snap-in high-quality, heavy grade carpet is custom colored, long-lasting, and cleans easily. Rear Seats Our 4-person rear individual seats are an innovation unto themselves. We have been building high-performance boats long enough to know that the greatest in-cockpit challenge is to keep passengers seated comfortably and securely. So we have custom engineered an ingeniously versatile rear seat. Grab-handles for all passengers are aesthetically integrated into the seats themselves yet provide comfort and convenience. A thoughtfully-designed center step between the two middle seats provides easy access to the engine bays and rear of the boat. At the sides are flush-mounted stainless-steel cupholders. Ample storage is available under seats, behind the engine compartment, and in the cabin. We even provide custom color-matched life jackets, bumpers, and ropes…all standard. Virtually the entire cockpit and cabin can be customized. Options are limited only by your and our collective creativity. 14 15 Luxury Interiors 16 Audio/Video Each boat is fitted with a spectacular audio system. Long before we built the first Cat, we brought in world-class audio experts to analyze the acoustic dimensions and onboard environment in the cockpit and cabin. We pre-designed audio and video systems in the cockpit and cabin to provide sensory overload on the water. More than 14 speakers in the cockpit alone will turn heads all around this boat. As an option, an on-dash monitoring screen is matched to low-profile cameras mounted fore and aft. Docking, trailering, and maneuvering in tight spaces has never been so easy. And with our optional engine compartment cameras, visual monitoring of the engine bay is a touch of a button away at the helm. Cabin Below deck, our cabins are fitted with luxurious, high quality appointments. Large, heavily padded cushions and high-grade carpeting are custom matched to your color choices. In the aft room, a comfortable two-person lounge faces an LCD, flush-mounted flat panel TV screen matched to a DVD system. In the forward compartment, a roomy queen berth offers comfort and convenience. The cabin also features a portable head in an enclosed compartment for privacy and ambient direct and indirect lighting throughout. Wall-to-wall carpeting is high quality and resists the elements. In-cabin high performance audio enhances the ambience. As always, customization options abound. 17 Specifications Measurements Length:............................................................................. 41 feet (12.5 meters) Width:.................................................................... 10 feet 6 inches (3.2 meters) Height:....................................................................... 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 meters) Approximate Weight (including engines):.........................9,850 pounds (4,468 kilograms) Tunnel Deadrise:.............................................................................. 16 degrees Draft:............................................................................ 25 inches (.635 meters) Hull and Deck • • • • • • • • • • • • • Hull produced from CNC-machined tooling Infusion Molded hull and deck construction from quad-axial fiberglass Stepped, ventilated hull Hull and deck chemically bonded (no rubrail) Full length stringer system Hi-Tec Foam core Twin 125-gallon fuel tanks 5 bulkheads High-gloss white Gelcoat base finish 16 degree tunnel rise Molded air intake system Navigation lights 6 flush-mounted pop-up cleats Engine Bay • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 18 Proprietary race engine mounting system Twin 700hp Mercury Racing® engines with dry sump NXT1® drives Dual Mercury Racing® stainless steel propellers Stainless Steel through-bolted hardware Backing plates Halon system Dual OPTIMA® heavy-duty marine batteries Offshore-style battery mounts Hydraulic steering Automatic bilge pumps Bilge blowers 2 sea strainers Engine compartment lighting Float switches Battery switch Diamond plate flooring Anchor light Cockpit • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 6 passenger cockpit seating Mercury Racing VesselView® – Race Edition engine and gauge readout High-performance throttles and shifters Electronic trim indicators Carling™ switches (marine grade) Ignition safety stop switches State-of-the-art electrical wiring system Dual horn Powder-coated 3-inch fuel fill Left-hand or right-hand steering capability Two 16-way electrically adjustable, fully bolstered custom driver and passenger sport seats Two electrically adjustable (fore and aft) footrests Proprietary 4-person rear aft seating with integrated support handles and extra-plush seats Tilt steering wheel Audio/Entertainment Center with media controls and high performance speakers Custom carbon fiber dash inlay or custom painted Fire extinguisher with mount Depth gauge Air and sea temperature monitoring Flush mounted stainless steel cupholders Custom high-grade, snap in/out marine carpet Dual electric engine hatch covers Indirect cockpit lighting Ample storage: side panels and below aft seating Custom Liquid Glass bumpers and dock tie ropes Transom • • • • Custom engineered, quad, center-mounted thru-hull CMI® exhaust pipes with mufflers 4 chrome noise suppression exhausts Custom Liquid Glass flush Dual aft dock lights Optional Base Cabin Package • • • • • • • • • Dual cabin entrance (port and starboard) with secure, lockable doors Two-person ultra-plush lounge seating (aft compartment) Flat-screen video panel (aft compartment) Queen size bed (forward compartment) Private head and changing room Custom ultra-plush carpeting throughout Indirect lighting High performance audio with DVD/CD/iPod and dual speakers Ample in-cabin storage Engine Packages • • • • • • Mercury Mercury Mercury Mercury Mercury Mercury Racing Racing® Racing® Racing® Racing® Racing® ® Contact us for more information. 600 SCi with SSM VI Drives 700 SCi with NXT1 SSM Drives 850 SCi with SSM VI Drives 1075 SCi with dry sump Six drives 1200 SCi with dry sump Six drives EU662 SCi with NXT1 SSM drives Individual Options • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Swim platform Trim tabs Cockpit cover Full custom hull cover Front and rear camera in hull 3-axle steel trailer 3-axle aluminum trailer Intercom System (4 Person) Security System with Global Tracking Air Conditioning - Cabin Audio system upgrades Upgraded dashboard electronics package Custom paint Custom graphics Upgraded interior cockpit trim Upgraded propellers Delivery and setup Additional customization Performance Boat Education At Liquid Glass Powerboats, safety is paramount.

Components have additional warranties. Powerboat Lease Program Consider the advantages of leasing a boat through Liquid Glass Powerboats’ easy lease program. The advantages are numerous: you select the term which you wish to use the boat, potentially tax-advantaged boat payments, and more frequent upgrades to new boats. 19 Why a Liquid Glass Powerboat? There is no shortage of boat builders in the world. Only a select few of those boat builders design and build true high-performance boats. Even fewer high-performance boat builders design, build, and sell completely custom-made boats. But Liquid Glass Powerboats goes so much farther. We design, build, and sell powerboats of extraordinary quality, exceptional style, aesthetic durability, exhilarating performance, and unique individuality. And we do it all with you at the center, as customer service is at the core of everything we do. No Shortcuts We don’t cut corners. In boat building, accuracy counts, not speed. Nothing is left to chance. We utilize only the best fiberglass. Our boats are lined with a hi-tech foam core which yields the finest balance between high performance, optimum boat weight, and structural integrity and safety. Safety is paramount. We thoroughly test each boat, in water and out, before it is delivered. We do not show a finite ‘options list’ because we would be excluding all the potentials for customizing and individualizing each boat. Only the laws of physics and your and our collective imaginations limit the options for your boat. Never A Copy We don’t build or sell exact copies or duplicates of previously commissioned boats. We believe in maintaining the individuality of owning a custom powerboat. Once you purchase a boat from us, no exactly customized replica will ever be constructed. And our ‘no copy’ policy has a secondary benefit: it protects the value of your boat should you ever decide to place it for re-sale. Global Sales and Delivery No matter where you are in the world, we can almost certainly custom build, sell, and deliver a boat to you. And, we will facilitate all shipping and paperwork to ensure a smooth and timely delivery. Exceptional Value for the Money We believe that you, the customer, should pay for outstanding performance, modern design, state-of-the-art technologies, meticulous workmanship, and customized features, not the boat builder’s overhead costs. We have strategically designed our operations to ensure efficiency. We placed our headquarters and operations in rural Iowa, a central U.S. State with a lower cost of doing business. Our operations are efficient and modern, and our workforce is well-trained and experienced. We sell boats direct from the designer/headquarters with no middlemen involved. In the end, you are buying a world-class, high performance, completely customized, limited production powerboat without paying for excessive overhead or inefficient operations. Value for the money is maximized. 20 Warranty Throughout our 30 years of boat building, we’ve stood solidly behind our boats. A lifetime warranty to first owners and one-time transfer provision to second owners is offered on Liquid Glass Powerboat hulls. Hulls are constructed of quad-axial fiberglass and can be repaired worldwide, if a situation arises. In the unlikely event of any hull problem, we stand behind it at no cost to you, anywhere in the world. Liquid Glass Powerboats will install any engine package to your specifications. Mercury Marine Performance Racing Engines warrantees their engines for up to one year and can be serviced for maintenance, winterized, or summerized at any Mercury repair facility. Globally Recognized Certification Liquid Glass Powerboats is Mercury Racing certified to install high performance engines and all our boats are U.S. Coast Guard certified for safety and buoyancy. CE Certified Liquid Glass Powerboats has applied for and been granted CE Certification, allowing the company to sell the 41 Luxury Cat into the European Union. CE designation is required for all powerboats sold in the European Union. To achieve this world-class standard, Liquid Glass had to document, test, and pass all recreational craft standards under a CE representative’s watch, including sound, emissions, construction, and design. *At the time of this brochure’s printing, Liquid Glass had been granted CE certification and was awaiting final paperwork from CE authorities. Customer Service Our entire company takes great pride in every boat we design, build, and sell. Master Designer/Builder and industry veteran Randy Schultz personally supervises the construction of each boat. We also personally test each boat prior to delivery to ensure world-class performance, build quality, reliability, and safety. Not only do we work with owners from the very beginning of the boat building process, we interact long after the powerboat has been delivered. In a world of seemingly continual declining customer service, we take the exact opposite pproach: we have heightened and intensified our focus on each individual. This approach a puts the customer at the center. We take care of you fully. It is not enough to build outstanding powerboats alone. We build outstanding powerboats as unique as their individual owners, and we remain with the owners for the duration. Customer service is top priority at Liquid Glass Powerboats. 21 The Design & Order Process The process of commissioning a new 41 Luxury Cat can be as involved or un-involved as you, the future owner, desires.
