Default My boat goes under the knife tomorrow!

Chris at Extreme Body works is going to start blue printing my hull tomorrow. He said 2-3 days at the most so I'll hopefully be able to get out and test it when he's done. Results to come!

I'll try but he says it'll only take him 2-3 days. No i never talked to them, if this doesn't take care of it i'm going to call them.

Well I sent an email to velocity last week and no reply. So far Chris has found several problems in my running surface that are affecting my speed and handling. He says I will definitely see a difference. Hopefully either tonight or tomorrow it'll be done and I'll go for a test run. Maybe i'll try and get my hands on a vid cam

Ditto.
They don't answer e-mails vary often.
Call and talk to Ken or Steve himself.
They will not BS you.

Well I stopped by Extreme today. I'm pretty impressed so far. Chris seems like a top notch guy. He found some pretty good whoops in my strakes and pad besides the rockers somebody put in it at the very stern. He's prepping it to gel the bottom tomorrow and fill in some of the smaller defects. I can't wait to see the results, although Chris thinks I really need to talk to Bret at Bblades and see what he thinks about my X dem and the prop I'm running. I'm going up to houghton for a pro rally race this weekend so I won't be able to try it out until monday.

Thanks for the advice, I might just go ahead and call the factory. Although last time I called the factory (prolly 5 yrs ago) I talked to some guy that had to keep asking other people at the factory to answer my questions.
