Frisini Completes First 30 Vendetta Open Bow
 

Frisini's new open-bow 30 Vendetta will be in Havasu next month...

Very nice. That boat should be a hit on Havasu. Any idea what the speeds would be with the 8.2? The red Vendetta with the tan interior is one of the best looking boats in it's size. Good to see Frisini introduce the open bow and continue to develop new models.

I will have more pix to post today.

Why make a family open bow boat with a hatch that can't be used as a sunpad. Its like they made a family boat and changed their minds a quarter of the way down the boat.

Did they buy the adrenaline molds? Looks just like an adrenaline.

Yes, he bought the Adrenalin molds (company).
With the open bow, do you really need a sun pad?
I am sure they would be more than happy to build a sun pad hatch if you wanted it.

Nice!

The open bow looks nice; not a total hack job like some others appear as. That mold has come a long way since we sold it.

Another Great looking boat from Frisini Motor Sports, East meets West, should be a big seller !!!

why do you continue to bash manufacturers who are coming out with new products? you did it in the OL thread and now here... :point:

Just be greatful he didnt compare it to an Apache, or worse yet, his own Apache, like he does on every other thread:lolhit:

Tex can speak for himself but there are rules and etiquette issues greater than him, you, or me at play.

A post in a manufacturers forum is one thing - and I have not seen Tex "bash" anyone in their protected space. Thats bad form.

A post in a "general" boating forum or open forum is fair game and its a fair question he is asking.

Sculpting the hatch pad kills it as a usable surface why make an open bow unit and kill the usability aspect of it? (for looks is usually the answer)

I am generally a fan of the 30ft line, I think the red one was sick. This one, I think has missed the mark. I agree with Tex, why would you not have a sunpad if you are worried about making an open bow that is supposed to be family friendly? The other thing I do not really like is that the bow seating looks very square, and if you are going to have a bow seating, there should be speakers up there (there may be, but in the pics you cannot tell).

I might add that although a GREAT looking boat and seemingly performing boat.

The pipes exiting the rear will make getting in and out of the water from the boat a hassle and potentially a burn/ cut issue if one slips.

I dont see a swimstep or a handle or anything to grab onto to pull out of the water.

Cool as hell- not really functional though.

Uncle Dave

did they ever make the SLV30?

Unless the swim ladder is off the side or the bow, it needs a more friendly hatch. The above the water line pipes don't work for something labeled family friendly either.

If I modify a ZO6 to hold a car seat but have to load it through the back glass, I am not going to haul the family too much.

Aaahaa!!! :hijack:

I knew you had considered it :daz:

I don't like the entire bow either. The chines on the deck render the entire deck almost useless. They shouldn't be there at all, it should be flat so that people can sit up on the deck when its parked if they want too. Try to sit up on the deck and you have a wedge stuck up your azz. People also need to walk on the deck so the chines are a disaster from a safety stand point as well. They should also consider adding nonskid to the middeck for the same reason. The backrest of the bow seating should be slanted slightly to allow for a slightly reclined position. This serves two purposes - 1) its a more comfortable seat and 2) supports your back which should help your back from getting sore when the waves pick up.

Tell me about it if I have to hear another word about that 28 apache on any forum I am going to snap!

Then you know its for sale? Thats good. Thanks for bringing it up for me. :poopoo:

Flate sun pad can be done! I ordered this stocking boat with a 600sci,and the rear poker run deck.

Iam sure we will do more with the mercury 8.2 ,and the sun pad.

This is a family hotrod! ( tested at 84 mph ) More test to follow with better props.

smart move there Tim.

Can it be ordered with a swimstep?

If so since it isnt part of the mold then Id guess you get a bolt on "L" bracket.

UD

Thanks! This has aqua swim step mounted in the center.

This Texoma guy is making me and I'm sure many others hate Apaches.

Help me picture...

Do you mean a swim step as in all the way across the transom, or a retractable ladder to the port or starboard of the drive?

The vents on the sides give it a cool look.

Im curious why the nice fold down cleats, but a fixed vs retractable bow light?

Who did the interior on this boat? I realy like it. The helm seats and the back seat were very carefully designed to go with the lines of the boat. Very impressive......one of the best I've seen.

I think the "in the $120k range" will go over well. I hope they can hang on and build a bunch.

I was passed their place last week as they were moving a large, stepped V into the shop. Looked to be alive an well ; )
