Thanks for the info .I,m glad you are happy with it. Customryder is right. One of the reasons we joined this forum is to get info. If there is a bad boat or product out there, it should be discussed here. Alot of people really do not know the Dragon that well and discussing its positives and negatives is a good way to learn about it. I personally like the boat, but dont know enough about it and enjoy reading anything that can educate me and bring me up to speed regarding it.

Simply put, I picked the wrong gears and that is why there were problems proping the boat. When Teague is finished working some magic I will post some numbers and pictures with the new stuff.

Excellent, thats great to hear. Look forward to seeing your new stuff. The hull finish on those boats are flawless and yours is nicely painted.

customryder,

Remember...these boat are custom made to the owners wants....But I will tell you first hand....you can not set these boats up base on other performance boats, ie: gears, x-dementions, weight, ect.

With the Dragons out there now...you can tell any owner what you are looking for in performance, speed, acceleration and they will give you good info...thow I would personally want to hear Craig and Scott's input on it being they are documenting all the set ups in how the boat's are reacting to them....

Every time we test, we send Craig everything the boat did and how it was set up and the outcomes...its great R&D and what makes performance boat company's successful...

EricT will be the first Dragon owner with BIG POWER....
I can't wait to see the numbers....I got to see Eric's boat also in person....the pics do it no justice....

customryder....I hope everyone gives you there input on there Dragons...and there experience's....if you buy one..you will not be disappointed....

Thank you Manitie. I think the boat is AWESOME. I just made a few mistakes in set up. But, that is the beauty of building a Custom boat. The customer has input in the build process.

Customrider, I think you should speak with Craig and Scott. They are great guy's. In fact Craig has been like a father to me and I would do anything for him. Even when he send me to my room or threatens to take me to the woodshed for a butt kicking. LOL. I have the money that would have allowed me to purchase any other custom boat but, after doing a lot of research. I chose Dragon. There is nothing like it.

After she is done at the Spa getting her nails done, she will have Number 6 drives attached to 800 HP motors.

Just so everyone know's, Craig is flying to California when the engines are installed. That my friends IS Customer Service.

Thank you Craig and Scott for everything. Now, if I could jut buy docking skills I would be set.

Thank you Customryder. I think you will be very happy with Boat #1. The only thing I would change on that boat is the cabin entrance. It has a zipper closure. I have a nice door with a big Dragon logo. I would ask Craig about it. I think it loos better. Good Luck.
