Banana's are back!!!
 

Charlie Sr, and Jr,

The silence is broken! Great news...

I currently own two Banana Boats. One for pleasure and just picked up one for racing. I guess I need to start saving for a third one now. :drink:

Congrats to both of you! I can't wait to see the 35. Will it look like the flat deck? That is my favorite.

I have only one request, no lightning bolts on the side of the hull or paint schemes that look like someone used it for a paint ball target... :eek:

I know the new banana's are going to be tuff and very high quality boats. Will a race lay up be available?

Chris

Are there any pictures of the 22 Duece

Re: Announcement
 

Nothing yet....check back in July.

Re: Announcement
 

I have just returned from a week long trip to Florida to meet with various OEM suppliers.

I previously stated in this announcement that the first boats would be ready for testing and photos in July....
I WAS WRONG.

Since we are a small volume builder, we cannot command instant response to our needs from the suppliers. In addition, I have found sevral sources of much higher quality products than was used in the 70's, and these need to be engineered to meet our demands. Time and more time.

So, bottom line.....the boats will be ready when they are ready, .........but when they are ready, they will be everything that I hoped they would be.

Fortunately we don't need to meet a deadline in order for us to eat this week or next. We have the luxury of setting a very high standard and not releasing the product until it is exactly the way it should be.

Can you tell us who is holding you up? Is Merc the problem? Can you give us an example of these better products. Come on......... give us something to chew on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
