    Just because you haven't been happy with any of your boats and have to sell them for a HUGE loss every year.....don't take it out on us that made some good choices..... :crossx:
    When you get that little dingy of yours....if it even exists.....you can talk...until then you're just a boatless $hittalker begging for rides :yuk: :crossx:
    I have been very happy with my boats in the past, they all have had a different use but all still faster and comfortable then yours, Mr. Water Pusher. Loss? You crazy? I did okay on my Ultra, John helped me sell it. I did good on my DCB, and I lost my ass on my Spectre. But hey 1 out a 3 I can live with. Your boat I could not.... :yuk:
    Begging for rides? Shit I have guys like you begging me to drive thier boats so they can learn how. When I get my dingy I will pass you everytime we are on the same body of water, not because I am trying to show off for you but rather I can't drive 52 mph I will fall a sleep. But for the time I will enjoy beating on you homos from the sidelines.. :rollside:
    PS if your not using your clunker err boat this weekend can I? I need a boat for the weekend ...... :cry:
    Man it is going to be a rough winter around this place.

    First I want to thank John and his wife for taking time out of their weekend to meeting us on Sunday. We flew out from the East Coast this past weekend to take a test ride in a 26 Shadow. All I can say is wow!!!! Conditions were NOT ideal in his view and he apologized but from my perspective, what better way to see what the boat could do then run it with crappy conditions.
    Wind was blowing with gusts up to 30 according to the radio. The water was basicallly a white cap machine with 2-4 foot waves when we were out for our ride.
    Our conclusion: We are sold! Let's just say, I'll be owning a tunnel by next May!!!! fyi...I now have a taylor jet boat for sale
    But don't take our word for it as I did manage to shoot a little video on 1 of our runs. Now the quality isn't great as I was using the Video feature on my little digital still camera and I couldn't hold it that still, but you still get the idea that the ride in these conditions is Impressive.

    The only other boat we saw out was John's friend in a 27 Shadow.(That looked to handled the rough conditions even better). These conditions are rare back East on the Lake where we would use the boat so for us it was a good test to show how the boat would do if we were ever faced with bad conditions and still wanted to be able to boat.
    Did you decide you buy the Ultra 26? As I mentioned when we were communicating about the 26, the 26 truely is a boat that handles and performs well, even with 496HO power.

    Yes John (Ultra26#1) has seen 80.8 GPS with his. He does have the CMI's on it so that made a difference. Before that I would say he was seeing a solid 78 all day long.

    It's cool to see another Ultra owner or soon to be Ultra owner on the east coast. Bring it on down to Lake Norman NC and will have our own little regatta. The west coast is just too far. Don't see very many cats on this lake and especially not as beautiful as the ones John builds. He actually flew out to North Carolina to personally deliver our boat an show us how to run it. How many boat builders would do that? The local and only DCB dealer on the east coast I believe wouldn't even return our calls. I guess when you walk in wearing flip flops and a tank top they figure you can't afford one of there overpriced pontoon boats. Well I'm glad they operate that way because I was glad to hand John W a check for one of his works of art. Wer got a great boat made a good friend and will be definatly buying another Ultra in the future.

    welcome to the free world my friend. I was just kidding about the jet. I don't know if he has one.
    As long as people will pay for "Art", the way I see it, Dave AND John will prospere. See you Saturday John.(my bro is looking at a deck)

    You're not talking about 496HO power here are you?
