Well to start with the other half said you guys were going out for a little ride. I was into cleaning the Biotch and idle BS'n in the boathouse and expected you all to return shortly. When you did not return as expected I used my time preparing the Fountain conversion speil for Twins when he got back. He seems to be pretty focused on the spiel, may have me another convert!
I just wanted to see what it was like to see the world from Petie's seat ...... It would be like riding a Harley with ape hangers if Pete was sitting down in the bolster seat.
Other then that the boat was awesome ......
Just kidd'in once again .......
On a another note .... Sam those pictures were great thanks .... I have some of Axa's boat and Bird's boat cruising beside each other .... i just have figure how get them on here.

Now if you notice I was sitting and Petie was standing ... I do like the the lines of the Black Biotch but the layout for the controls is a cluster fukk for me and aside from the fact I can't get my fat azz around the shifters getting into the bolster seat and the fact I have approx . 3 ft of dash and windshield in front and above me when I am sitting in the bolster seat.

Thank you very much!
Now you can see that I was sitting as well............The left handed cluster is something you adapt to with time when you're motivated and get into the Reggie mindset ............ My somewhat smaller butt fits in there with no problem, and like I said the larger race style controls do add to that accessibility issue ............ As far as the windshield,,, well it saves one having to install those chinese buffet style sneeze guards. Windshield = shield one from the wind, if it ain't going to do anything then skip it. If you haver ever experienced the wind in your face at 90 mph you would come to appreciate it. Though the lower one is racier looking and may be a possible change if I keep this one for a while ............ I drive mostly sitting and see things just fine, but like I said while keeping track of my Flocker friends I am looking to the rear
. I like sitting down into a boat, was one of the things I did like with the old Velocity, makes you feel you are in the boat as opposed to sitting on it.As they say "Different strokes ..... For different folks".

I still think that windshield was designed so Ole' Reggie doesn't lose his Elvis toupeau .....
