Do you have a picture of them racing the Talon,? Was it a Modified class boat? |

I do recall ProRoc had/has a very good working relationship with Hustler boats, is that an accurate assumption? |

Talon 377 Formula X
Video below is a Special Edition Talon 377 X built and shipped to Europe, I believe originally possibly Finland and now for sale on the eastern coast of Italy. A race deck opened up and used as a pleasure. A nice video showing family fun time.

I sold this boat to Russia, some years later we brought it with basically no hours to Italy.

Special Edition Keith Eickert 377
Even tho this talon Special Edition is 20 years old, the Lines are timeless IMO. Cool part about the SE is no rubrail.

Michael Peters Influenced???
THE most influential mind in performance hull design is reserved solely to Michael Peters. I included this post because the 377 Talon takes cues from the 35 Maelstrom.
Peters designed a 19 foot Maelstrom which was his first stepped hull and I assume he was involved with the record breaking 35 Maelstrom Cat also. Crazy deal is he got the idea of a stepped hull by noticing how stable a sea plane pontoons were, which had a step. Great article about Peters https://www.soundingsonline.com/feat...michael-peters Heres an old thread on him. https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/...ace-boats.html |
