VAMI you ruin it everytime I try to mess with these guys heads! :D
Tomorrow we'd have had 12 guys who blew that picture up and made comments on everything from the billet ramp to the kind of wire in the welder to that tube of "magic wax" we put on the bottom of the boat LOL

the bottom is interesting. looks like there are a pair of lifting strakes ahed of the intake that stop short of it and the reliefs along the keel are massive.
is the bottom new or already in production? wondering how well it works.

Thats our standard current tunnel bottom and it works very well lol
The QT is over the aluminum VAMI. Stock keels are 3/8" and you can get 1/2" as an upgrade
QT100 is 3/16" I believe

Good eye. But the tube is a wax that we use when sanding the aluminum, It keeps the discs from clogging up, happens very quickly if you don't use it. The only reason i mention it is if anybody here is working with aluminum on any projects it will make it MUCH nicer!
