Re: dragon in PB atricle? WTF?
 

If the boat is advertised as a 90mph boat, and it barely broke 70, there is something more than a few minor gremlins wrong with it... I don't think people are bashing you Eric, they would just like to know why it only went 70 instead of 90 ???

Re: dragon in PB atricle? WTF?
 

the trim up comment was a joke... dragon 1 was up here and ran 90+ with 525s.... look, the rerigg is awsome... spend ur money any way u want... the article said u traded ur 525s and bravos in and the total was the same as buying a #6 boat so job well done :cool:

im just cant see why in its original form ran 72?

V-tec are you driving a boston whaler? sounds like you don't know much about these boats. I had my hands on Eric's boat more than he did at the beginning and it is one beautiful boat. Yes it had some problems at the beginning. Well that is all over now and Eric gets to enjoy his pride and joy. To many people on this site that have no idea whats up and have never owned a performance boat. V-tec your moms calling you to go and get your plastic tug boat out of the bath

Eric, the boat is awsome and kuddos to Lidia for letting you "stick with it"!! :D Had to be some rough times and you gotta love having a wife with a passion for high performance like yourself. I hope my wife does for that future "re-rig". Now you just better not sell it! :p

Yes, I don't know anything about boats. But, soon I will have CAD drawings of the Dragon hull and I will make them available for FREE to anybody who asks. I can supply in Unigraphics and IGES. Then everybody can analyze this hull to make improvements, etc. Maybe somebody will modify the Boston Whaler bottom on the Dragon to help it achieve 70+ mph.

I can provide a cutter path too, for a marginal price.

My new company will be called PirateDragons. I know, ya gonna call your lawyers.........step in line if ya wanna sue me......

I'm used to it. In fact, it's a sport now.

Re: dragon in PB atricle? WTF?
 

If anyone wants to ask question and find out the exact specifics of Eric's boat (not that it's anyones business), just call Dragon and talk to 'em about it. Craig and the rest of the group there are EXTREMELY cool people and stand by their product. Craig hails from the best (in my opinion) heading Cigarette for many years. Dragon is a new company and will have set backs and growing pains but they have not let anyone down yet so cut 'em a little slack.

Eric doesn't want to air anyone elses dirty laundry. Obviously there were some issues. Whether it was Dragon, the riggers or whomever else it has all been resolved and Eric, Craig, Bob and most importantly Erics family are very happy.

Erics boat isn't the only Dragon ever built. They are currently proving themselves on the race course (UIM) winning a few races already and have proven themselves on the poker run course (Original dragon ran well over 90 at the Havasu poker run).

If you ever see Eric's Dragon in person, go look at the detail and quality of the build. Talk to Eric and watch that thing run. You'll understand why after all has been said and done he's got a smile on his face a mile wide. ;)

The teauge platinum drives from what GPM and others on this bd have experienced are a out of the box xr with a vert shaft upgrade and a other few small details,they would NEVER cut the mustard on a 10,000 lb plus boat with 1800 or 2000 hp. #6's make PERFECT sense other wise drives would be a ongoing issue. I also know this from first hand exp on a boat half the weight with similar power,Smitty
