Yup, everytime we go by the outlet place of the 15, I cringe, thinking the wife is going to ask me to stop and take a look. A look always ends up as a couple of purses. :crossx:

I am buying the one that most everybody that see's it falls in love with it, yes the red one. Wes has an expected completion of 6-8 weeks so far and I am hoping for 5 weeks ;)
The experience so far is very Photoglou-ish...since there are literally no options its not very complicated. What's great is Wes and the Trident team are still coming up with innovations to this day that are being added to the list of standard items!! Like many of us here on the board, I have been waiting for the arrival of this boat and excited it is finally here...I am stoked to be the first among our community to own one! Right now I am looking forward to a more personal tour of the demo boat in the comfort of my own driveway, where I can really learn everything there is to know about this boat firsthand without the atmosphere of a shop. I have been boatless for some time and I think this is a quite fitting way to return and look forward to keeping everyone updated on the progress and finish! :)

We have some more here somewhere...
Congrats Chris... You are going to love your new boat. I have someone a little ahead of you to finish first... but some of your billet work will be done here pretty shortly.
Any of you guys from Phoenix will be able to see the "visually completed" boat in Phoenix at the Men's Luxury Toy Expo later this month at the new Cardinals Stadium. It will be minus the drive and such still, but we are hustling to get the interior and exterior visual components all installed for the show then bring it back here and finish it all up.
There is another one in the mold now already too. It will be white with blue graphics. It will look similar to the white/red one but in blue. Should be another gorgeous boat, and I am hustling the deals right now for the ability to use the boat for promotional purposes...
Congrats again Chris... I will see you sometime this week!

Triple is standard. That is not his trailer. That is the shop trailer we haul the boats around the shop on.
Chris just needs to decide whether or not he wants the trailer "Slut red" or White...

I got John West open to the idea of a v-drive Shadow...only with no warranty. I am sure he doesn't care if it is 1 or twin v-drives. :idea:
Wes knows I am joking about the v-drive thing since I am a v-drive junkie.
I am glad to hear the triple axle is standard. That shop trailer did look a little out of place.

I'll build a V-Drive version... no problem With a warranty.
The hull would work great for it actually as it is a hydro. Let me know when you want to start... Seriously.
And Nord... you should step up for the first outdrive version. It will work great, and I am thinking the top speed is going to be dangerously fast for a deck boat. I can't wait to build one. Wouldn't want to own one... but I understand people want outdrives, and after cruising around on Lake Mead and such with it I see why. Higher cruise speed basically, and if you have 80 miles to drive... you need it!

How much extra to cap it?
IMHO The bare hull with out the rub rail looks much better than the drawing with the rub rail.

I would talk you out of it. We hang all of our interior rigging off of those through-bolts and there is a flat spot on the boat where the trim goes. Additionally, while totally do-able, capping gelcoat is a lot harder than capping paint. If you were planning on painting the boat, you can easily just paint over the seam. With gel, you have to actually re-blend the color parts and you don't get a clean, totally smooth finish.

"Spreadout! Let me tell you something - STFU."

I think it's all he can take when scrappy pappy takes out the 800 horse rig with the stock Bravo... B finally got by here yesterday with Brayden in the cart. Brought his very own icechest/beers. Homo is halfway to Canyon Lake and doesn't even realize it...
You're the baller. Buy a boat from Wes and then watch JWM disown you for the jet drives. :) Has he driven one yet? What did he think?
