Video looks great..and the boat looks awesome in the water..it has a nice aggressive stance, especially the stern shot. I had the opportunity to look at while I was polishing many boats at the Miami show..this boat checked out real nice. I do like the suspension cockpit, as well as how detailed it was engineered throughout. The materials everywhere were first rate. Impressive boat to say the least, and the speeds are right there as well w/1075's. Kudo's guy's.

04-13-2009 01:15 PMWe were at the LeMans Race in St. Pete too and ran into Chip Fendt--newly onboard with STATEMENT!--and Gene Weeks. The boat looked great at the floating bar dock and was creating a lot of stir--especially when we cruised in with Diamond Dave Branch of Muscle Racing and Dave Peterson of Black Pearl Racing, along with Diane Barrington--you remember the "Blade Babe" from racing a few years ago? She used to broker all the helos for the teams...
Of course Dave and Dave and their friends were anxious to check out the new ride and they were very impressed after a spin with Gene! Peterson liked the smoothness of the ride and Branch, ever the master of under-STATEMENT! said, "Very fast and very smooth!" He was disappointed he didn't get to drive it, but he loved climbing around and exploring the super clean engine compartment (NO rigging shows--it's all under the carbon fiber flooring) and beautiful and functional interior!
Check out the photos--view of the bar from the top of the ferris wheel!
Nice job on the YouTube video Poker Run Mike!
