Default Talon makes it to the water?

Launched the Talon today. I had my pond built with a ramp to make it easy for trailer repair. So hear is a few pics. Hope to test this week in time for Havasua.

The lake is really only a pond. I can launch and start boats but it is way too small to get on plane. Great to work on my trailer Guess I can practice with the crash boxes, pretty hard to get in trouble in a pond!

Awesome boat btw, its actually the boat that replaced the Talon we raced as Traffic Light/ Cleveland Construction back in the day. If I'm not mistaken it has a wider/deeper tunnel then previous 377's. One fun azz hull

Crash boxes are fun, Evil Ed Smith is the master at docking these things and on our boat the shifters were actually reversed (forward was reverse and vice versa) so as to be completely out of the way while racing. He could put that boat anywhere effortlessly.


Yeah i dont think your gonna get in to much trouble in that water
