We will be showing the Revolution at the BB&TT show at West World this weekend. Beers in the motorhome on us.. I don't know if we can bring them into the show. If we can, we will!
We will be with my brother and his company "OPM Customs" with his three first-generation Camaros up for display. Look for the Revolution right as you walk in... should be a kick ass spot!
Come on by the booth. We will have our new brochures and stuff for everyone and would be happy to show anyone all of the bells and whistles on the boat while there.
I look forward to having another kick ass time in Scottsdale! We may have to get together for some drinks on Friday or Saturday night.
Anyone else planning on going?
Sounds like a great event for ya.
Hey wes, you going to be able to stick around and put it on the water this trip?

I would be happy to on Monday if you want. I know I can't make it out for the whole week (boats to build and all... ;) ) but if you or anyone else wants to hit Pleasant on Monday I would love to.
You going to the show?

You don't need to throw it on the water... just come take a ride with us! You all need to get some test drives in anyway.... I am still leaning on Jordy about the yellow boat. ;)

Hey Wes, I saw the Trident parked off 15/Pala Rd.(hwy76) on Sat at about 3pm. I was heading N/B back to Corona from San Marcos. That thing looks big even from the other side of the freeway. I wanted to turn around and check it out, but Momma and kid were cranky and wanted to get home. Nice lookin

We are going Monday for sure. PM me your number and I will make sure to stay in touch. I am hoping to take a lot of folks from the show out for test drives and get a couple of these bad boys on the way out the door!

That was us! We were eating at Nessy Burgers there. If you haven't been, I highly reccommend. I have my share of favorite burger joints, but this one nearly tops the list. Bacon isn't on the menu, but ask for it and you get some of the nicest, biggest juciest bacon slices you will ever see on a burger.
Two thumbs up!
Cool you recognized it from the freeway! That is quite a ways away...

We were thinking about going over to the show Sunday. Might be able to make the lake Monday. My truck will be back together Friday, so I have a way to get the boat out. Hasn't been on the water since January :( Have to make sure it's OK for our Havasu trip the middle of May :D If you go out Monday, post a note on what time!

You got a good lookin boat there, from what I have seen, just curious how the jets run up against the 525's and Ilmor decks...

Not trying to stir the pot, but a fully loaded E-ticket with (2) 525's going for $170ish(guestimate), which is honestly a really nice rig after seeing it up and close yesterday, 100MPH+ to boot, wish I would have actually looked into that first, but damage is done.

Why don't you let him in on how you think that matchup will go... ;)
Craig got to ride in the boat a couple of weeks back, and he has an Ilmor V-10 in his DCB.

Could'nt tell you because I havent been in a deckboat with twins yet, other than the Revolution but when I do I'll have a full evaluation for you :p
What I do know is the Trident is a Rocket out of the gate with about 1 sec planeing time:crossx:

It should take off like a banshee, with all that hp and twin jets...
Is your DCB single or twin? All I saw at the shootout on DCB crew was "World's Best"... if you didn't agree with that, then you wouldn't have invested in the product.
Just as Trident is Revolutionary, I respect that in the boating world, considering a lot of the builders are slim shady... look at the company that pulled the midnight move (no-names)... amoung others that pre-finance and crap. Customers that buy Trident will be one's that are looking for that something different, not typical Mercury domination product.
Honestly that is why I bought Ilmor, to break away from the masses.
Personaly I am a perfectionist and I can see Trident's battle for it. Personally, I'd build my new product under a cloak and hit the market like it's never been hit before. But that's just me, please, no one take offense

We invested in what we could afford and the boat that met my families wants and needs :)

That's because it's so light it's halfway on plane before it's ever moving. :D :D :D

OK everyone... we are posted up here off the 10 lane at Pleasant.
Anyone who wants a ride, drop me a line at (619) 823-5643 and I will meet up with you wherever you are on the lake. The most accessible seems to be the Marina grille where we have been in and out of all morning.
Looking forward to seeing all of you out here. We had an amazing time at the show and met a lot of great folks.
See you out here!

Came by twice on Sunday but you were in deep conversation with what look like qualified customers vs tire kickers so I did not interupt. Jeez that boat is awesome in person and a lot bigger than I had imaged.
The show was about as lame as it gets. I think you were about the only thing there worth the admission uless you were int he market for a pocket bike or wanted to get on someone's mailing list :rollside:

I agree. We didn't stray far from our booth the whole time, and it seems like we were about ten people deep the whole time.
Are you coming out today?

You mean meet you at the dock again :rollside: It might be a good excuse to pull the kid out of school. How long will you be at the ten lane?
I'm 1/2 way through waxing the boat but the other 1/2 could wait until tonight

We are here right now, and will be motoring around all day and on my cell... for real this time!
The motorhome is staying at the ten lane and Courtney is manning it (and the cooler...)

I'm tired of waxing anyway. I'l grab the kid and head over. Be around 2 or before. I'l grab a vest for him. A short cruise would be great.
