Ah, just wondering if there was a relation. It turns out Bill's older brother Ken is married to my aunt (her second marriage - I've never referred to Ken as "uncle")

Hit the water today! Only had about 15 minutes to play around, but it's very twitchy, going to need some setup and seat time. No pics or vids yet, but soon!

Will post some this week. It's really nice and clean, no clutter. Had the body shop at my work re-do my cowl, looks amazing. Gotta clean up the rest of the boat to match lol

Well I'm terrible at getting pictures. Had about an hour seat time before our first race this year. Setup needs tweaking, but it's very strong in the midrange. It's on the pad very early (around 35-40mph) and I can already tell the difference losing weight made. Races didn't go very well, water was too rough for me, but I was able to pull off a win in a bye run lol.... Gravenhurst races coming up next weekend, I'll be out testing this weekend.
