yes it does. Lets line him up for whenever he can come out. Even though it is cold, I would assume the winter rate is probably better than the spring rate.

They can tuned to make from 800-1200 hp each.

Come with blowers, super chillers, and every other high end component on the planet.

Cost over 40k to build them from scratch.

If I had the cash right now????

I was given the message yesterday that if payment does not show up, that he has another buyer that will actually pay him this weekend.

I am only the messenger.

yeah I bet, a buyer named jeff gregory.......about the actually paying him part, he is better off sticking with buyer number 1. I told him i would pay him when it was installed :D:D

To fill you guys in a little more.

When you build a boat, regardless of how straight the mold is the hull shrinks as it cures. This is one of the reasons they release from the mold.
The biggest issue is heat, good shops can control the exotherm in the resin, but most cannot control the humidity or air temp, a hot boat will shrink more. Generally winter built boats are better.
As for the shrinkage, all the straight hard lines on the hull do a better job of retaining there design shape better than large flat surfaces. So the edges for the transom, chines and strakes typically hold, and the big flat areas between them shrink causing a concave area. This is most noticed in front of the transom as this is the most ridged part of the hull...... and hence the hook. A good shop will grind off the gel and fill the hook with structural filler then regel the hull...... and real good guys will leave the finish in 400 grit, with the sanding lines following the direction of water flow......... this last bit is only ok for boats that are kept on lifts or are trailer queens. As gel is like your skin and will absorb anything....meaning it will stain.
Lastly... NEVER and I repeat NEVER wax your bottom.
