Posted just minutes ago from Grant's Signature Racing.

This is the completed Rick George Racing 28 foot catamaran Climax Race Boats with a pair of 300XS motors. The tooling was designed by DougWright and the layup was done by Rick George Racing. The rigging is being completed by Grant's signature Racing out of Bradenton, FL. Hopefully we'll get performance numbers soon!

Super nice, Thanks Noli. Love the lines.

Anything Grant touches that Doug touched sure does come out nice, Grant's got it mastered.

Very cool boat no doubt but I'm not sure if I'm down with the popcorn ceiling coating in the engine bay....might be hard to keep clean.

Dan's new ride looks amazing and sure sounds like it's going to run fantastic. Can't wait to see it in person flying by me in the Delta in a week or two.

needs a bimini top

This boat will mostly be used in the Delta and Dan (owner) is an older guy that is NOT into sitting and blabbing. This boat will be cruising 80-100mph most of the time with the ability to run well beyond 120mph when the water is good. I'm guessing it will run closer to 130 when dialed in. Dan is an incredibly great guy and was a huge help for me getting our Skater.

Same principal as the turn indicator style switch that I put on my boat and a lot of production boats use. I really like mine. It's really nice to not have to take your hands off the wheel, it's in the same place everytime, and is very intuative. A lot like it looks like this should be.

I kinda figured you were. My wife asked about putting a high speed, very low profile bimini on our Skater. I've said no a few times but she keeps asking. :rolleyes:rolleyes

Ya, I could have the very first 308 Skater with a full length bimini. I mean seriously, if I'm gonna do it, may as well get a bimini to cover the entire boat. It's gonna be sick...... :eek:eek
