08-04-2012 09:10 AMWell, so far they don't like guardian mode. (But it probably saved their engines.)

08-06-2012 12:17 PMAhhh, this is where it gets a bit iffy, but I'll give you what I've dug up.
I am almost positive the boat Geico is campaigning now is actually a Maritimo hull designed by Peters. However, before Maritimo campaigned thier own hulls, built where they build their yachts I believe, they campaigned both a Victory hull and a Tencara hull.
So, I'm not 100% positive, but almost sure. How's that for a political answer?Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

08-07-2012 08:17 AMFrom a member who should know;
That is a 1999 (probably 98) Victory hull, that Victory won a Class 1 championship in then sold it to Maritimo. Michael Peters designed, Victory built. (don't forget, that was the time frame when Gary Stray worked at Victory, no doubt a positive for them with this boat now).
So it is the last Victory hull they ran. Maybe they haven't campaigned one of their own hulls yet? I know they were saying they would.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
