    Interesting bold hull form.

    What is the advantage compared with a conventional v-hull bow?

    I know you made the video small so people wouldn't have to wait forever to see it, but I wish you could crop it so you coudl see the boat better - right now the boat is so small you can't really see anything in the video...

    And is your email address correct on your web site? Looks funny for an aol addy - I didn't know they allowed you to have a dot in them.

    The angelfire popups are annoying - it would be good if you could ditch them.

    How about showing a profile drawing?

    And it would be nice if you posted some specs - LOA, waterline length, beam, draft, cockpit depth min/max, weight, layup schedule, and eventually some performance numbers...

    Nice pics, but go around to a friends with a 56k modem and access the page for the first time - you might find that thumbnails that you can click on to make a big pic would be a good idea. I would also suggest that the video should not start autiomatically but be on request.

    Hope that helps!

    Nice looking boat!

    The bow is quite distinctive too.

    What is a prop pocket? It looks like a flat pad aft... but the word "pocket" makes me think of something else.

    P.S. How will your pricing compare with the huge builders?

    Does a new boatbuilder mean higher 'custom' prices or lower prices?

    Hull prices start at $12000.00 for a white hull with cable steering
    and a cooler seat w/ backrest
    Options start with hydraulic steering
    custom gelcoat colors
    leaning post
    live wells...................or anything else you can think of.
    Cost a bit more than an assembly line boat but I like to think you get what you pay for!
    Vinnie:) :)
