I think they're just waiting for the engine builder to come be part of the firing and testing of them for the first time. If everything works, it could be really insane.

Zach's will be at the poker run, but I don't think they plan on going really fast, since family will be in the boat, but you never know. I always say I'm gonna take it easy until the first boat passes me.

Thanks,

The yellow one at the show was on the poker run, fri. talked to them and apparently it cruised flawlessly, hit some big numbers, then settled in at about 125mph at 5k on the tach for a nice smooth easy ride! Thats cruising

You know me, always looking for a little more power. Very nice to finally meet you as well. Felt like I knew you after all the phone conversations.

The boat will require substantial hull changes but not so significant that other current models cannot be modified to accomodate the new engine and drive system(s).
That should fly (literally). They should invest in a solid gold coffin for the sheik driving it when it does
