Here are a few pictures of our new 27. This is of course before bonding, sanding, polishing etc. The red blend that John came up with was just what I had hoped for. I can't wait to see this thing put together. :)

What would it weigh infused and what kind of speed with a 525?

69.8 + ?

Thanks. We went with the 525 for power. As far as opitions we added external steering, hydralic hinges, hydralic pop up wind screens, painted rub rail, and a foot wash.

sounds like the perfect choices--I would have liked a foot wash on mine, and there were days it got a little "windy"

Damn, the least those guys could have done is wipe the dust off for your pictures. I'll have someone take some new pictures tomorrow. It does look like it came out nice. I can't wait to get moving on it.
the dust helps keep it a little more stealth--it will take longer before Magic or Commander can copy it that way :wink:

Sounds like you guys had a good weekend. Sure is nice to see how well your boat ran. I am sure with the infused hull I should see the same numbers. :rolleyes:

what are hydraulic pop up wind screens? is that a new option?

With the push of a button they retract down into the boat. Really nice, I think they just came out from Dana Marine.

They are fairly small approx 8" x 12" but they work very well at high speeds.

Yes they are new. We put the frist set on ours. They are about 18"s wide maybe a bit more and about 6-8"s high. They are bad ass. They go up and down just like a car power window. I have a switch on my side for both passenger and driver and Holly has a button on her side for just hers. At 100mph you can have a hat on and you just feel the wind on the top of your head. Your cheeks do not flap around and you can talk to the person next to you.

Here's the new electric wind deflector. We currently have one model 18" wide, raises 6". We are currently tooling several models for different installations. This first unit is fairly simple to install on any boat that has a 20" X 2.5" flat area on the deck. It does require under clearance for the mechanism.

Ultra currently has them available for the 26 deck and 27 shadow.

Congrat's!!!! The boat looks great (even under the dust) Can't wait to see the progress. Good choices on the add on's :D
The Ultra gang is growing :crossx: Soon eveyweekend in Havasu will be an Ultra regatta instead of Magic......well maybe it will be hard to tell the difference once they splash all our boats.... :cry: :crossx: j/k
Thanks for posting pics and congrats again.

Make the Rhino street legal then. :) And the Chevy is an 01 extra cab only, no baller here.

What is this whole "infusion hull" thing about. I was reading on it and it seems like its just a vacume seal to get air out of the resin? Does it make the boat stronger? Faster? How do I know if mine was that way?
Most boats are NOT infused.
I believe Wes at Trident was the first to do it on the West coast followed by Ultra and E Ticket.
Basicly it uses a vacum to pull the resin all the way through the hull versus just laying it up wet and thick.
It is supposed to reduce weight and material by about 30-35%(It also makes it stronger)
Lighter boat = a faster boat.
the experts could give you a much better explanation.

I live in California remember;)
I don't think the Rhino would be all that impressive going up the hill on the Toll road. CHP would be a little miffed.
Trade you that 01 Silverado for my 97 Grand Am whenever your ready. :crossx:
