Ummm...that didn't last long. What's up Steve?

Part of the deal. I get a new one every year, just as soon as I sell the
"old" one. There's nothing that I don't like about the boat, it's been by
far the best boat I've ever been in, bar none. It's roomy, comfortable,
incredibly stable, has tons of room, is easy to clean up, inexpensive to
run and faster than most boats in it's class.

It's just that I am selling this one, because I want one of the new boats.
The new models are being built using a different process that reduces the
hull weight from 1,150 pounds to between 750 and 800 pounds, and is even
stronger than before! So that means I still have the strength and
stability of my current ride, but it will be even faster and more fuel
efficient when I keep my foot off the HotFoot. I've heard preliminary
runs with a new hull, with the same outboard that I'm running now have hit
speeds in the triple digit range when unloaded of fishing gear.

Plus, if I'm retiring from the FD, I'll have more time to devote to the tv
show, and I need a boat that is a little more video tape friendly color.
The white that I have now, while nice and cool in the summer has a
tendency to "blow out" on video tape. So, I'm going to talk to some video
experts and see what color will work better. And I cannot imagine a
better boat for videotaping on the water, it's an unbelieveable camera
platform.

If I wasn't acting as a rep for FastCat, I'd be keeping this boat for a
long, LONG time!
