Well, we finally got the new update out today, and it is a doozy. We had an absolute pile of returned e-mails though, so everyone probably has their spam filter on high as they usually stop everything with HTML in the body. So, bottom line is this, if you are supposed to get an update and haven't, first check your junk box, or wherever the spam filter dumps into, and if nothing is there, go ahead and re-register at http://www.tridentboats.com/register/register.cfm
Thanks for everything peeps... this is going to be an awesome summer!

So reading between the lines your write-up seems to mention 0-60 in approximately 5 seconds...call it 6 seconds....Our you ready to stand behind that? :idea: Or did I read it wrong.
That time seems incredible for the power and weight of the hull...and the engine is a thing of beauty...to bad it has to be started :wink:

Wes, I regretfully inform you that the Canadian advertising for Trident has hit a wall. Actuallly a fifth wheel trailer that someone was to lazy to slide the hitch back on :D Amazing enough the only piece to survive was the chunk of glass the sticker was on :D :D

Wow
The boat seems like it rides nice and flat over the water. Cannot wait to see one up close. Great job Trident, it looks as if you hit the nail on the head.
Unfortunately for me the only Trident I will be sporting is the gear and the stickers. :cry:

Well, most things we come in contact with get stronger as a result. This doesn't suprise me.
I will get you a new one right out...

Let's just say that is a little slower than it is. And yes, we will stand behind that.
Boat weighs in right now under 3500 pounds. We need to change the impellers a little bit and it will significantly quicker.
Just read an article about a twin 850hp setup in family and performance boating in a 32 Skater with a ton of mods for holeshot performance.
Would be nice to beat that thing up handily with a single motor and a deckboat, eh? ;)

You should have gotten it, right? I was obviously ( I hope obviously...) kidding.
If not, I will get one right out to you. I know you have been registered since the beginning.

The stream is the oil cooler and gearbox cooler dump. It moves a lot of water for sure.
The intercooler/motor cooling goes out the exhaust.

Again, congratulations. 3 years, 9 months and 6 days is a long time to wait for your baby. A year from now no one will remember how long it took, but will notice how well it was done.
Question about the diverter, one control or two? I can see that two might make it easier to trim but might get you into trouble if you were stupid. (one up, one down). Or would it? Spin around in circles and hose down the lake lice :)

Congrats to you, Audry and the entire Team Revolution on achieving your dreams. Can't wait to see it. I may have to come down to buy some T-105's ( are you selling them?) and at the same time take a peek at this beauty.

We will be getting more out soon. I trimmed it down thinking everyone would hate me for writing a novel.
BTW... 72 @4400 actually.
