Ended up selling the boat for a fraction of what he paid. Spent a big chunk of change, then the company went under, or stopped building bay boats, or changed their focus or something. I had a friend who bought a Titan boat up in Houston, upstart with racing and high end bay boat roots. But I'm having a very hard time justifying spending the money on one. I don't find them ugly as some I suppose. I think if we can play at the Top the game in all of these fields building a minimal powered fishing boat is pretty much a Cake Walk. They vast majority of employees followed me to Corpus and have been here since opening day. When I left after tooling on the Recon for Eric at SCB.
We are also about to go and make a run at the Outboard World Record which has not been attempted in thirty plus years. Doug Wright and I are also working on several cutting edge big offshore race boats also. Not to mention that I personally designed along with Dan Elison. From big offshore racing boats with turbines to now back in the Drag Boat world running both a Top Fuel and Top Alchohol hydros. Most all of my time has been spent in the racing world. I personally have been designing and Building boats since nineteen seventy six. i would like to answer as much of your question as I can.
