No he won't lol...it was built to run hard on "The Bay" and it's got extra gel on the bottom for blueprinting which would really free the boat up. IMO blueprinting is the key to speed for both of these boats.

James should of posted a before shot of his pad to really give an idea as to how much better it looks now. Removal of the hook will make a HUGE difference...

That pad says 85.1 mph!

Looks great James

Nice work James! I'm going to blueprint the AE in the spring also.

Looking good James. The more I read the more I see the hidden potential in blueprinting. Too bad you couldn't have done all this one step at a time in the name of science to see where your gains came from - what the hell though go for the gusto as Mitchie says. It looks super clean duder! You are going to love it.

LOL Dok - I think you have posted that photo of the Charger's knees 1000 times!!! I think you carry it in your wallet too! They are impressive indeed. The Charger has been air borne numerous times in 3-4 foot wind chop (if I may). It won't break....

I do keep a copy of that pic in my wallet....just so I'm prepared when a discussion about transom strength comes up. I flip that bad boy out and shut down the competition.... Believe it or not the SRV has even bigger knees lol...

Regardless... The Triad has THREE KNEEEEEEEEEEES!

Are we have a knee competition??? JC has 4 ffs in his bathtub...

SRV....3

WOW! That boat looks awesome with a Merc on it!

wow! 4 full knees, James has the outer braces which I figured to be sufficient considering the floor to deck height at the side,but considering the fact that this hull has no floor at the back probably a good idea!
I was considering the straightness on my hull,which looks pretty good!my running surfaces are all very short because of the step then the notched pad, I don't think there's much to be gained on mine in flatness other than sharpening and straightening the edges! I've gotta get some picks up, if someone was asked to identify the hulls,no one would think they were both Challengers!
I do see a huge difference in the pad width now with the before and after shots! I think the acceleration difference is going to be huge,that things going to get on the pad at 60-65 instead of 70!
