    No gel just epoxy. I think the best rigging on a pleasure model was the one with the Red Dragon logo that Tres did. I think the first was rigged by Lake X.

    Tank, what speeds did you see? I wonder if the boat would be faster without the windshield? Less wind resistance?

    Trim pump on the starboard side is a little low. It's pressed down against the hull. I had to replace the trim pump due to a crack in the tank on the pump.

    This shot is from the '06 Turkey Run... every running shot I have of it- running level on rails.

    Would love to see a Dragon up around these parts this summer!! Good luck! I remember seeing the Blue one over at Martin Marine being built and then #2 at the Miami show. Very cool boats!

    Sorry Brad, just saw this thread again.

    I don't recall what numbers she posted when I was in it. There were four of us in the boat and we were enjoying the smooth ride (in big lake chop) while drinking Martinis

    They dropped me off to get the truck and trailer and took my wife out (big suprise).

    If memory serves, the first one was known for running in the upper 90's.

    I don't think the lack of a windshield would matter too much. I do believe Craig did some wind tunnel tests with a model prior to build as well. The Dragons I've seen in and ridden in, were absolutley awe inspiring. Beautifully hand crafted works of art.

    May be the cleanest engine compartment that I've ever seen!
