Reminds me of my old Triton Tri-hull," Airborne". Almost the same design! Mine was an '83. What's old is "NEW" again! Dave

That desogn is defeinitly nothing new, and defenitly not "pioneered" by ICE marine. CP used to build 18-22 foot squirter boats with that same design and they are still the fastest things out there in their class, seen a 22 do over 130 with a squirt nozzle on the back, that's pretty impressive. Eliminator built a 23 I believe with that same hull design back in the late 80's/early 90's. Guys who own em love em, those that don't have nothing good to say about em, just like everything else in the industry I guess. I'm not sure who originaly designed that bottom but it sure wasn't ICE marine.

Hi Everyone,

I see that the Bladerunner has been getting some chat going, so as the sole importer and distributor for the USA, I thought it best to introduce ourselves and be available to answer any questions.

The very first 35 is here in St Petersburg, FL. The original 34's are no longer made. Other 35's are spread around the globe with other distributors or clients.

The first 51 broke the world record for circumnavigating Great Britain last year. Another is nearing completion for delivery to its' owner.

The 35 debuted at the Miami Boat Show in February and has been tested by some of the magazines since then. Reviews are to be published in up coming issues. I'll list the dates and titles as soon as we are notified.

The boat was also part of the Poker Runs of America season opener in Sarasota on April 1st and photos should be on their website (www.pokerrunsofamerica.com) soon.

I'm not going to go into depth about the boat/design here, but as there seems to be some interest I will make myself available to answer any questions and I look forward to some further debate through the forum.

Lastly, to all those that said they wanted one, well I'm your man !!!!

Thank you

Mark Hawkins

Was that the one that was stuffed at one point rebuilt then had the fire? Does it have Kamma drives? The name was something like Trident? I remember stories about it from long ago...
