I expect to have a new demo boat. Ship is scheduled to land in NY the Thursday before. Only god and Paul Young know what crazy color it might be. Supposed to be the first boat out of the new tooling. Hull # should be 180 AFAIK. Coming with a 5o5 on top to be delivered in MD on the trip south.

Daan Goodkoop picked up his mast on Saturday. I bumped into him in the local hardware store today (unrelated!). Hammering him pretty hard to sign up. He's still on the fence but is tipping. Sic Vinny on him!
Race it like you stole it.

If you mean Thursday 12th April, that's tight. If you mean Thursday 19th, that's unrealistic. There is probably at least one LIS boat which might enter if you drove down and handled logistics.  

Great if Daan came.

12th. Likely a pick-up at Port Elizabeth and keep driving... Hoping for a Monday customs clearance.

Whoo Hoo! Need just a couple more!

Just talked to the mothership in Wiltshire this afternoon. All the bits are molded (from the new tooling!), parts will be assembled into a new demo boat in the next 2 days.

To make this milestone boat distinctive, and in keeping with the crazy works boats color schemes, the deck is safety orange and the hull is lime green.

Can't wait to see the next works boat (and the next 4+ after that).  In the meantime, the 40th entry just hit the scratch sheet -- congratulations Mr. Tyler Moore of Hampton, VA and Viper 73.

very nice job guys.   

reminds me a lot of 2009.  Carrie and i had just ordered the viper and the run-up to CRW was just like this.    Really pumped us up. 

@ Tucker..   will this new boat be infused

Well, that would certainly qualify as an "enhancement and improvement"   I should have known dan was talking in ounces and now changes to the hull.

Rum infusion, absolutely! I gotta figure out how to get a keg to the dock for this... Need Olaf's expertise.

This boat needed to be built quickly since we sold all the east coast inventory and works boats. We're currently infusing other stuff in the UK (K1's) but didn't want to rush the first Viper infusion, so it's hand laid & vacuum bagged, as they all have been to date.
Race it like you stole it.

How about 45 boats now.... Lets do it!!!

I need a short break. I'm exhausted. But hell yeah why not? Let's go for it.

We'll get back to picking up the phone and dialing for boats shortly.
