12-01-2009 10:14 PMDan Lanza...from the grave! It has been awhile since Dan Lanza's passing. This site wasn't even created when he was alive. Somethings just amaze me.
If you are over it, Jack, then be over it. If you want to bring up the past...Then Get Ready For It!!!

12-02-2009 10:20 AMJack, there's no backround info for why it was posted so you have to expect others to question your motive.
While I agree it's an interesting perspective from back in the day but problem is Dan was an enthusiast and Eric was a builder and he is the credible source. No knock on Dan, it just is what it is. Dan knew what he knew because of what he owned and liked (hobby). Eric knew what he knew because he was actually building boats and running a company... He knew the corporate "history" and why the new bottom was the way it was and it wasn't built to be the fastest boats like some of these other new "flat bottom" boats.
Eric and company accomplished their goal so it doesn't matter what Dan's perspective was.... So as said above; "If you want to bring up the past...Then Get Ready For It!!!"

12-02-2009 11:16 AM1. Yes, history dictates there is usually a motive on these forums whether or not it is implied or directed.... Give a little background info. up front and you wont be accused.
2. While I did not know Dan personally I have spoke to him numerous times about his boats and projects.
3. I've spoke to Eric numerous times as well... He and Bobby both helped me find a 36'.. Bob introduced me to Eric in/around 2000 timeframe.. Also, last winter him and I had in-depth discussions on how to properly set my X dimension, along with Bobby.... Net results were a 4 mph gain...
4. His perspective has some validity but Eric has more credibility in my eyes.... This is an opinion and it's one that I've formed from 1. being around boats my whole life. 2. Having worked and earned a living in the industry prior to become an "enthusiast".
Carry on Jack!!!
