...the full page Trident Custom Boats ad in the August *cough, cough* Powerboat Mag? Looks like the guy in front is tossing out the shocker :)
Cool ad Froggy.

Rock-it man's Daytona is featured in the same issue. Some big numbers before the distributer gear failed.

Cool ad Froggy.
Thanks Noko!
I just got in, and haven't checked the forums in a few days. It does look like the Shocker, but in actuality, all of those peeps are OP6ers that we took from pics, and that is someone dancing with chemlights.
If you look closely, you can see Rivertoys Jason, Sassy, Slick, skeepwerkzaz, Lightning, RiverDave, Mrs. Froggystyle, 78Eliminator and others from several of the OPs all taken as "inspiration" for the picture.
Our next ad we plan on getting an actual shot of a very similar party in an actual Revolution. We will see how close we can come!
Thanks for noticing though. That ad was a blast to make. Did you check out the background at all?

I saw that ad, and thought it looked tight....definitely got across the message you are trying to convey with the Trident Boat...

For those of us who don't get Powerboat - can someone post the ad?

Working on a smaller version right now. The version we sent the mag was all in weird layers and stuff...

Thanks. What I meant was... the CMYK version you send to print is not really able to be viewed as an online image without flattening the layers, adjusting the colors and re-saving it as a jpg.
Thanks though. We love it.

That is one of the best Ads I have ever seen.
Who read all of the background info?

That is a sweet ad, cant wait to see it in Powerboat.
I still dont understand why most Boat Manuf. have the same ads over and over again. I dont make boats but it would be fun.
Congrats Trident, best of luck

Which one am I!? I knew I would be famous some day :D

Thanks everyone. I knew you would all like it. Mostly because it looks too wild to be real... but damn near everyone responding has seen it all actually happen on our boats! :D
To say we are building this boat for the way they are actually used is an understatement. In fact, we are not going to let the mags test our boat with less than four people in it from the looks of things. Not realisitic. Four peeps, two coolers and a full tank (125 gallons) of gas.

I think you are either the guy with the chem lights, or the guy with his arm up in the middle of the boat. That was the night the two chicks were kissing each other for the crowd...

I don't remember signing a release. I'll advise my attorney to settle for a 2005 model:D

Thanks Wes, though I'm really not sure which one I am....I can pick out Audry, you, and I think Hallet19 though. :D

That is honestly one of the best adds I have seen in a long time. Very to the point but also very informative.
Good work!

It would be fun to see the original picture you pulled that from

I'm pretty sure the gal in the back with the cowboy hat on is Mrs. H4215

It is. There are two more I can't place though... the two chicks in the middle of the boat. Somehow, we ended up with 4 more women than we set out with. Weird... :D

Very good looking "enticing" add. Definitely makes me want to see more info on the new boat. Nicely done!

We should have a new update going out to the registered folks this week... but as you can see in the other thread, I have been a little busy!
Thanks though, we love hearing peoples responses to the ad.

I personally think that the ad is great and the boat looks great!
I'm a little hurt that I didn't make the photo though!! Just kiddin.
Keep up the class work Wes. Outstanding start I'd say!
