Two boats in stock (Warpath and Firefly) ready to go, they can build more. I think it's the slow sales in new performance boats causing the delay in production. :stooges:

Congrats on the 99 mph!

The checkmate looked fantastic at Boyne Thunder! Wish it would have been a bit rougher to see it dance through it.

Precision Power Offshore has worked on blueprinting the bottom. It's not perfect yet but more work will take place this off season. In addition Ben's been adding to the areation.

You got 8 mph just out of blueprinting/tweaking the bottom? Very impressive. What is being done to "add" to the aeration?

There were additional and larger holes drilled. The bottom need quite a bit of work. There was a fair amount of hook. It still isn't perfect but obviously it's significantly improved.

Damn, with a pulley and tune plus new props you'll be embarrassing all the old big power apaches.

A C7 will run circles around an old Vette, But given the choice I would still rather have a split window.

I think it is the perfect analogy the first 41 Apaches came out in 1985, so that boat has had 30 years of technological advancement which is a lifetime in today's world. Don't get me wrong it is a nice boat, I just don't see the technology in it that other boat MFG have embraced.
