We are just about ready to send the boat down to Tri Cities and put it in the water. We will be a couple days ahead of schedule and that is a great load off my mind. I will have a couple days to make some runs on the river and hopefully we can get some images to upload to the web site.
It has been a lot of fun working on the boat. If any of you are mechanically inclined, you know exactly what I am talking about. We have been detailing it out and making it look and run top notch for our live ride. We anticipate this to be the first of several demonstrations this summer. We have seen a huge increase in interest of patrol craft over the last several months as a direct result of Tim Sheridan and MDSI efforts.
Tim is going to take some pictures on Friday/Saturday and we are going to see if we can get them posted to the website. This will give you a first hand look at what we have been up to and the amount of work and effort to have this in shape both mechanically and aesthetically.
The GB 12 is 12 meters long. This is 39 feet of craft that weighs 24,000 when loaded. The sponson are a removable item that takes it down to 10 feet 4 inches so we mark the load over width and do not need pilot cars. This saves on transportation costs and makes it road able for moving around once the customer has taken delivery.
In the normal process of putting sponson on and off, running through water, bumping into docks, logs etc they get minor scrapes, bumps and little tears. We have gone over each and everyone, made repairs and are putting a new finish coat and the boat really looks great. We are excited with all the work we are doing and want shareholders to feel the same excitement. This is your company and your company’s product to be proud of.
That’s it for now, things are going great and this will be a great next couple weeks.
