These are the same molds. Doug originally designed this river rocket for Rick George who passed away. They were owned by Fat Cat in Texas. Mark (Performance bought the molds) and is building them now. They will be all carbon, twin motors will be in the 350 range and will run 130. The current single will run 110, has no pod, and amazingly does not hop. Testing has only been done with a Max 5 propeller to get these results. Performance will continue to refine the drivability and cockpit layout as they proceed. These hulls are like a driving a big STV.

Oh. For some reason, I was under the impression that this is a different design.
As someone close to DW, are you able to shed any light on what went on between DW and Performance?

Thanks, Dale!
This is something I have been wondering since the DW28 came out.
I saw that boat trailered away from B&W a couple of years ago. Had we arrived 5 minutes earlier, I could have asked. I also should have asked you at the poker run this summer, but the glory of Relentless made me forget it.
How is the 24 Skater coming along?
