We had the boat at the Port Townsend Wood boat show this year and we had many people wanting to know if we would drop a V8 in her. The next day I brought a quart can of V8 vegetable juice. You should have seen the response of the first guy I told we had one in thereG |

The limiting factor right now is the controllers we started with but we are in the process of upgrading both the controllers and battery pack we had her out on Hagg lake west of Portland for about four hours and we were running on plane for about 40 minutes of that time and the balance running at cocktail cruise speed. While the performance is limited at this time we feel we have a niche market that is unfulfilled at this time. She really runs better than you would think. Tom I apologize - I was being a smart ass. That is quite an accomplishment. Congratulations. Still think it would run better with a couple of Rolls Royce twelve cylinder Merlins though. :) You may take some of the Duffy market in SoCal, etc. Look cool while doing a harbor cruise. |

We have achieved speeds of over 30 MPH to date. For how long - 20 seconds? Leave it to you to try and **** on anything that you haven't done or tried or tasted, or anything.... You probably don't know it, because you've lived your whole life not liking anything but the mundane, but there are other things out there that are cool as hell that you just haven't either had the foresight to try or the balls..... |

It's not a "site" either. It's a usenet newsgroup. The guy is trying to sell boats? In a boating newsgroup? The horror of it. Maybe he should retain a magazine advertorial writer and get a "great review" written? |
