    Now you are twisting what you said originally.

    Stick to your thoughts. I am telling you that a sport hydro is easier to run than a mono. I am not arguing that a mono is or is not more stable in rough water. A mono is not as stable as a hydro. 3 riding points on a hydro and only one on a mono. Do you stand better on 2 legs than 1? Therefore easier for the newbie to get the "feel". And A sport hydro of this size can handle some pretty good chop. More so than a souped up SV.

    And I think that the boat looks pretty cool too.

          I will get them ordered up today.


          I can partially agree about this not being a newbie boat BUT how many hot rod "real" cars are sold to teenagers with fresh licenses each year? Let the buyer beware and more importantly research what they buy!

            What's the price Steve? I saw the post here stating the street price @ $330. Let me know. I'm thinking of picking one up in late December into January.

              I think there is something lost in the translation from wood test hull to this plastic/ poor fibreglass AQ junk. The wood one looks great this looks like AQ stuff. Kill me now for having a opinion, yes now you sober plebs

                The boat shown in these pics here is the one heading to LA right now with Brian Buaas... He's going to run it through the traps at the LA SAW event and find out just how fast it can be made to go!

                I'm heading out to the lake today around noon ; I'm bringing my camera

                  I think she looks pretty mean and the hatch and cowl setup was a killer Idea! It's just that the shoebox seam has never been one of my favorites but, It Is the easiest route to bonding the deck and hull.

                  Thumbs up and congrats to Mike for designing something new and getting a big company to market them. Awesome! Mike Is one of my new heros...

                    Andy, the proof will be in the pudding. The boat has been built to a calculated price point. Yes the hull will probably have stress cracks after numerous runs but for the price it is one hell of a bargain as long as the PRODUCTION models pass all quality control procedures. The model that will run in LA is not what you and I will buy.

                      This product will insurge growth in the FE sector of racing.
                      Alan, I know you are there, please explain the attributes of a rigger and a hydro design under wind and heavy water conditions and my initial statement said calm water conditions

                              Doby, thanks for the compliment...44...But I still think this boat is too aggresive for a newbie. They will try to run it in bad conditions, as I have stated before
