Anyone have any pictures of the new Trident dual jet?

Here is a photo of the boat itself, notice the center sponson is wide enough for dual jets...

Naw... he is just my billet Nazi. If he says the billet looks good, it will be just fine!!
In all actuality, I ended up going with a billet guy he recommended and he is totally kick ass. Great work, good delivery times and is easy to work and develop product with, so I owe him a beer or 12 for that one.
That is an old shot of the boat too. We are pulling the mold tomorrow morning at last! Everything is all black and shiny now.

So you're pulling the first mold off the plug? Sounds like things are moving along. I would assume you'll waste no time laying one up to get a test mule up and running. You've got to be dying to put one in the water and see what it will do with good power and the dual drives setup.

Ding ding ding!!! You are the winner of the official "understatement of the year" award! You can't imagine how hard I am chomping at the bit to get this thing wet and wrung out...
Long year so far. hehe

How does the gearing work, any reduction? both drives in the same direction or counter rotating?
