the commander deck that I thought looked cool. Didnt get in it to see the rigging, but it was killer looking at least.

Cool pics!

[Essex502]

That 25' Howard had a 1100 motor in it that Howard claims will exceed 100 mph. I believe them based on the specs of the 28' bullet and a similar motor.

[digginfordollars]

That guy on the left with the shirt is me. I can't believe you didn't say hi. I also don't know how I missed you, I was looking for ya.

[BADFISH II]

Thor - you didn't know that was D4$? http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif (you can tell from the pic of the back of his head) and didn't say hi http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif shame shame http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

Thor, do you (or anyone else who saw it) remember the seating arrangment on the Commander?

Am I just obsessed with these damn seats or what?

What seats are you referring to? The bow or cockpit seats?

[OutCole'd]

The cockpit. I like the two forward seats like the Magic. Is the Commander the same? It looks like only a drivers seat & a wraparound bench.

RL is right for once. I copied these. But, since nobody else was doing it I thought I would.

You are welcome bitches http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

RL- Can you do me a favor there is a booth down stairs for Wizard Billet, they make speaker covers(i missed this booth). Will you take pictures of there new designs. I think i'm going to get these for the new system that is going in the boat. Thanks i owe you a cold one.

[OutCole'd]

RL, dont forget, Magic Deck boat, & The interior layout on the Commander. Thanks. I will pay you in Beer.

[digginfordollars]

I was there from about noon till 7:30. I could have stayed longer but the missus was worn out.

[RVRKAOS]

you can see wizard billet online @ www.wizardbillet.com

I'm going to get the radio cover for RVRKAOS, they have a new design with a checkered flag. It'll fit my boat design! 150.00. Fair price I guess http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/ohboy.gif

I looked on there and I talked to the guy the other day on the phone and he said they have new designs. I was going to get the tribal ones, but he said there is a new tribal flame one that i really want to see before i order.

[RiverLife]

To Do at Boat Show:

- take pics of Magic deckboat, and Commander layout for OutCole'd
- buy an AquaStep for No strESSEX, hunt him down until he pays me back (in money, not beer http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif )
- take pics of Force for THOR
- take pics of Wizard Billet's new tribal flame speaker grills (which sounds pretty bitchen to me too!http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

.............. did I forget anything? http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

How about buy a new boat so people will stop teasing you about the gay pride float your cruising in now?

[B-Rad502]

Man, I sure like the lines of the Ultra 27 and the Cobra 26. Those are some nice lookin' kitties!! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Yeh, on the way back go say hi to your buddies in West Hollywood. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[Rude]

those are some super sweet rides. as far as the cobra, i want to see their cat with a different gel design. something about that one just doesn't do it for me. i didn't see any nordic pics? did they have a booth? if kurt said he was there from noon to 7:30, he was probably at the nordic booth from 12:15 to about 7:25 http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[digginfordollars]

We were at the Nordic booth about three times. The wife doesn't like the room in the Nordics, too small in the open bow area. I agree with the gel coat on the Cobra cat, makes the front look weird, kinda rounded instead of pointy and sleek.

That's why we were there, my girl wants either the 26 Force or the 27 Ultra (she's leaning toward the Ultra now that we saw them in person). Â*However, she says new house first, new boat right after, so we will most likely be rolling our new one to the 3rd Annual LVHB Regatta. Â*God I love her!! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

BTW- there were pics of my boat back when it was new in the Schiada photo album. I thought that was funny.

[Rude]

D4$, i think that's INSANE that you'd have to step up to a 29 to equal the room of your current boat http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif did you check out any open bow tunnels? it looked like there were a couple of them there judging by the pics. i was just curious how they compared to v-hulls.

[RiverLife]

I thought the open bow tunnels were very roomy. I could have laid down flat in most of them (I'm 6' ). I think the 26 Force had the biggest open bow I saw.

[RiverLife]

probably can't tell by this pic, but it was big.

[digginfordollars]

The force had the biggest open bow out of any boat in the show, v-hull or cat. The 26' and the 29' had the same size open bow, the 26' was shorter between the back seat and the front seat and also lacked about a one foot or 18" full width storage space between the back seat and in front of the engine. Perfect for a ski or wake board or bimini top. Most of the other open bows were a little to short to sleep in, even being 5' 10". The Cobra v-hull had a big open bow but the cat was a little small, not bad though. Cobra did one cool thing that I haven't seen anywhere else. The bimini top attached like all the others but there was a cut-out in the hatch that it fit into so you never had to put it away. Just lift the hatch and stretch out the top when you want it. When your done and want to do some speed runs just lay it down, close the hatch and it is safely tucked in under the hatch. No chance for the wind to catch it and tear it off, it wasn't in the way of anything, and it is always handy when you need it. Cool idea.

[LV-Advantage]

D4$- I've seen that on a Force awhile back in a magazine(the bimini top being tucked away) and also the green and yellow 27 eliminator at the show had that. That is a cool ass idea.

[Rude]

that sounds like a bitchin' idea! i'm sure it will be all over the place by next season. the open bow in the boat you posted RL looks pretty damn big. is that blue flame job pinlined in green? it looks pretty good in the pic.
