Any guess as to what kinda paint ? Think it's one of the new "anti - fouling" paints that supposedly don't scrub any speed ?

It was explained to me at the party on Friday that the whole interior- floor and seats - rides on a big air cushion. It moves.
Well... it was definitely moving on Saturday.

Not only did these guys make the run, at the lunch break they were taking out prospective buyers for rides in that water.

There is nothing better than being able to walk the walk ,especially with a new product.

I really appreciate all the nice comments, emails and pm's.
This one was special, no doubt... I'm just glad I was there to record these moments.
