A first for Sea Ray—and a job well done, https://www.speedonthewater.com/two-...a-ray-slx-260/

The boat does not have a Cockpit.
They now call it the Box Office.

edited to not be an ass.

Not to worry ... I added an image for you (not a great one, but what I could find) in the story. The picture of the designers in it really didn't cut it.

And I wasn't shooting for a Pulitzer with this one.

Curious why there weren't more pictures showing off the finished product.

Because it looks like what Regal has been building for 5 years.....

I went to the web site.

You admit right in the article you couldn't care less about anything Sea Ray builds but felt it necessary to write about the sex of the people who designed this model. I think you devoted one sentence in the article to the actual boat. When's the last time you told us who designed the running surface of the latest Cigarette?

I reported the story because it was a newsworthy "first." Powerboat design traditionally has been a male-dominated field so I thought it was interesting. Just like with Stuart Halley, the general manager of Mercury Racing, started at Mercury Marine, you never know where people will end up. In this case, the people behind the product were more important (to my news sensibility) than the product itself.

Because, again, you never know where people are going to end up.

On a personal note, I have a daughter (and a son) and I like to believe she can go as far as her talents will take her, even in fields that are traditionally "male."

No images of the boat were supplied with the press release, which I properly sourced the information back to. I did add one after the story was published.

You seem upset. I'm sorry my story disturbed you. Exhale. It's not worth it.

I have no idea who designed the running surface of the last Cigarette—I know Skip Braver (the former owner) really well and consider him a friend, but he kept that information pretty close.

(Psst. I get it. You were making a point.)

Now I want to know who designed the CIG bottom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
