Re: Curacao CS 25
Congrats, Peter! What a great video! Now the rewards for theyears of work and all of the attention to detail - I'll bet you're spending a lot of time at the ramp explaining your boat!

That is what I wanted to hear! Great job, thanks for the pictures and the detailed building write-up.peter-curacao wrote:She handles far beyond my expectations she tracks like an arrow without having to fumble with the little fin on the motor.
Although it was a almost mirror like sea I mentioned she handles chop very well, and as long going straight into the chop she and her flair keeps you dry.
As shown in the earlier pic she reached 43 mph wind in the back and about 42 with head winds, still I'm missing a few rpm's because the computer is breaking her in, after 20 hours I think it will be about 45 + mph.
Here's a vid, obvious I didn't take to much attention shooting it still I hope you guys like it, better pics and vids will follow

Re: Curacao CS 25
Now for the big decision...
What month in the Bateau calendar will feature this beauty?

Peter:
Your boat looks great. Congratulations!
I am assuming the name and logo are some type of sticker or transfer. What are they made of, and where did you get them? Is there a website?
Thanks,
