I thought I was special. :cry: At least now I know what the message was referring to. Too bad I missed the call. I don't think I have time anyway. It's crunch time for me at school. This is the last weekend to catch up on everything. 6 more days of class.

Good morning! Yeah... I have been making some calls...
On the West Coast it looks like San Vincente, Castaic, Havasu, Parker, Martinez, Naci, Berryessa and the Delta. Moving East we are doing Saguaro, Mead, Powell, Tenkiller, Travis, LOTO, Norman and maybe Anna. Almost certainly the Dallas area, Tampa Bay and Miami as well...
Our newsletter with the test ride information went out a couple of days ago, and we would love to hear from you if you want to take a ride in the boat on your home lake. Just check out the update at Tour De Trident (http://www.tridentboats.com/news/25/index2.cfm?pid=1)
Remember, I am not just looking for qualified buyers, I am trying to get the word out about how great the boat is... so the only qualification neccessary for a test drive is that you have experience in boating and will recognize the difference when you ride in it! We are building our word of mouth marketing right now, and nothing does that like a ride in the boat... believe me.
I also expect to hear from all of the naysayers. Let me take you for a ride... drinks and gas is on me. I want to hear your thoughts after taking it out and seeing what it can do... Seriously.
See all of you soon!

Saguaro???? Think you'd get a bigger following if you were to show up at Pleasant. Saguaro is out East and kind of a pain to deal with, but I'd probably make the trek out there and deal with the hassle to see this bad boy on the water. :D

I am doing it all by appointment. Four folks wanted Saguaro. From what I understand... you want to go to where everyone called Lake UnPleasant... No drama... see you there. Just click on the link and point out where you want me to be... I'll be there...
We are thinking of doing Phoenix area next weekend. You down?

They only call it Lake Un-Pleasant because the little jet boats aren't a big hit out there as it gets bumpy in a hurry. As far as next weekend, I believe that's open. My props are having a day at the spa in Vegas but I'm hoping to have them back. Typically have a good group of boaters out at Humbug. Sunday is normally even better than Saturday. :D

If anyone wants a test drive, please click on the link so we can plan on hitting your area... We will be alerting everyone from that lake/region with a little advance (one week in the case of Phoenix) using the replies to that update, Tour De Trident (http://www.tridentboats.com/news/25/index2.cfm?pid=1)
so get your lake and your name in there so we know where to go and who to call first!

Next couple of days may get to 70, but it is supposed to drop back to the low 60s for next weeekend. Plus the water temp is probably in the low 60s so it would be pretty cold on the boat.

Put it this way... I have been taking some clients out recently who were absolutely numb I guess while wearing jackets and pants. I was in a t-shirt and shorts. I had no idea they were frozen...
Needless to say, frozen people don't have a great time on the water. That effects their opinion of the boat, so frozen=no sale.
If someone wants to wear a jacket and go for a ride, I am down. Until then, the comfort of the person evaluating the boat is way up on my list. Turns out some people don't want to go put it in heavy seas on a test drive either... My bad... ;) I would personally want to see how it did in rough water...
Anyway, I will be up there with my goggles on if I need to be. Weather won't stop me or the boat, but I want people to have fun too.
Anytime baby... I am there.

Last summer I bought a 23 Ultra XS with a blown 572 and a dual jet drive same as the trident. It is incredible if you have never been in a dual jet boat I highly recomend you go for a ride in one. At first I did not think it would perform that well but it handles great at idle speed and puts you in your seat wide open. No cavitation and on plane instantly. Dont mean to go on and on, but it convinced me.

We haven't had rain in 1,389,437 days. I think I got sprinkled on last night, but I was leaving happy hour so it's hard to tell. Today was supposed to be in the low 70's and I saw 81 at about 4:00. The UP Struck dropped off fresh props for my boat and I'm planning on laking it this weekend. Saguaro on Saturday and Pleasant on Sunday. Should have a great crew on the Sunday run. Keep me posted.

I put another thread up about this. We are definitely going on Sunday to Pleasant. I might dally on Saturday on the way out there, but Sunday for sure.
You in? Where are we meeting, and where should I park the boat?
