Hmm, diesel Toyota in our 23v?
? Could be a nice option package next year
? Anyways, we haven't lined up any dealers on the East coast yet but are working with some distribution reps that reach into the south east, so an ATL dealer isn't out of the question next season.? And the resin infusion stuff we are doing is just a better way to build a boat.? Derek can tell you that is puts any other builders methods to shame when compared by shear and impact strength.? The key is less resin.? Traditional boats have about a 30-70 mix of glass to resin, with infusion we flip that to 70% glass to 30% resin.? Resin is inherently brittle, so the less you have of it the less likely the laminate is to fracture.? It also makes things many times stronger as the glass can now flex without breaking.? Combine this with the high density core materials and all vinylester resins we use and you have the strongest tournament boat ever produced.? No joke, this thing really is the strongest thing to ever hit the water.? Mastercraft has played around with SCRIM(which is a step down from infusion) for their high end ski boats but no one has ever gone to the extremes we have on this boat.? And this isn't just my opinion, every composites guy we talk to, or vender we work with is just blown away by how we are building this boat.? And it will weigh in at about 3,200lbs
? Which will be, by a significant margin, the lightest 23' v-drive on the market, even with an 8.1l engine it will be lighter than most 21' boats.? That is what?s great about a new company.? We can listen to the feedback we are receiving and can adapt any technology we chose because we are starting this all from scratch.? Big companies could take years and millions of $$$ to implement processes like this infusion technique.? We are super stocked about how these boats are coming together and know we are going to really open some eyes come Surf Expo time when we show of this DVS boat and all its new features.? Did I mention the Vector Steer System?
