There were a lot of cool boats, but this 1200HP Twin Turbo at Chief really caught my eye.

I am not an MTI guy but it was cool from the pics. I couldnt go. I think the Cigs were the coolest things there.

I vote the 36 Eliminator with the removable tops. I love the deck design also.

Ballistic was painted on the bottom of the boat which was way cool. The motors were radical looking, but I dunno about it doin 200. I know it wasn't finished yet but the window installiation on the canopy left alot to be desired.

i agree, it looked like crap but i figured they were rushing to get er done. cant imagine thats the final galss install :eek: i dont know if they were even finished rigging it or if the second engine is complete, it hasn't been wet yet from what they told be. the paint was out of control on it. the drive and rudder rigging look tight.

The cones as usual... with the long tanned legs a close second.

Boat crap was nice but nothing beats a nice rack, in my humble opinion.

LOL, your right about the boats and especially the racks. I actually thought the boats were pretty boring this year.

ditto, crap was hangin down from the molding and they didnt seem to care that it was. It's all in the details on boats that cost mil+

Ballistic got back from TAOD on the Feb 6th and left for the show on the 10th. The windows were just placed in temporarily along with the rudder and just about everything else :eek:

Well I guess its just me, but the Ballistic was the best-in-show at the show. I am aware it was not complete. From what I understand the glass, interior, and engines were not completed. Who cares. The boat is one of a kind and undoubtedly the best boat there. I can not wait to see it in the water. Just let us known when that time comes Gatorone.
Beautiful boat Bill. Hope to see it in Sarasota or at least Jacksonville.

Cool thanks, As for the booth it was actually Nor-Tech.
Really appreciate all of the comments. As for Ballistic we were really lucky to have it there at all. We simply had no time. I was very nervous about showing it with the lack of details and the cut and paste last minute stuff. I know some can be brutal and that's the price you pay but we wanted to have it at the show no matter. Anyway look for it a poker run near you in its final dress this summer. Lastly, thank you Bill for allowing us to put this amazing boat together for you.

Yeah, what a wild looking "Hair Dryer" Motor!! I'd love to hear it spool up one time!!!
I voted for the Benz MTI,, to me it was amazing the fit, finish & detail.
although the Two "Baby Dolls" in front of the Sunsation Booth were a close second,, and the Cig Bikini Show a close Third!!!
