Wanna Race in Daytona?
We are already in Daytona at the Holiday Inn. Anyone interested in racing here this weekend or just going for a test ride, give me a call on the cell, (513) 706-3199. We will be testing on the lake Thursday and Friday.

We are going for a ride in the boat today, very excited. The boat looks like a plane, should be interesting to see how it handles on the water.

You have got to be kidding me. We went out in the big stuff yesterday and the water got really nasty. The bigger the water got, the faster the boat seemed to fly. I have been out in many boats in the Daytona Waters, and no boat has ever handled even close to the way the batboat did. The thing cornered like it was on rails, even in the rough stuff. I would love to see some turning radius numbers on that boat at high speeds.
The thing that impressed me and the rest of the guys testing the boats was the way it always stayed level. That has to be the secret to it going so fast. The boat never wasted any horsepower. A few times the boat would just go right through the top of a wave, it truely was amazing, and the new seating (By I think PPI in Sarasota - don't kill me if I am wrong) made for a comfortable ride. The onboard cameras and rear view camera and screen also made it east to see the other boats - and provided coverage of what we did to laugh about it over some beers next weekend. One word sums up the entire experience - AMAZING.
Huge thanks to Chris, Nick, Chris C., Tara, Matt and the rest of the Batboat crew. We had a blast and will certainly be glad to sponsor you anytime you are in town.
