I apologize for the dealy of updates. But there is a explanation to this!

Our boat got finished in the middle of the summer and we decided to do a little testdrive, without a riding behind the boat.

Pictures can be seen here:

It worked but it also resultet in a shortcut to the controlunit which needs to be fixed. This is a little problem but since the wakeboard session in sweden was almost over we decided to rebuild the controlsystem during the winter and then present a whole working boat at spring 2007.
This project is not over, it only rests for a few months.

I really appreciate all your consideration!

Stay tuned, and look out for Project Leticia 2007

Very Happy

Last time I asked it was around $3500 with $1500 in sponsor money. Guessing around $4000 with the paint job?

true enough.. but a project has intrinsic value you can't really put a price tag on. Plus, what happens when someone decides to buy your project off you and market it for a fat check or royalties... ya never know!

Ya ive done quite a few little project type things for myself over the years and they usually wind up costing more then buying the item if they even make one but being able to do something yourself has some kind of satisfaction you cant buy.

I agree completely, i thought that the product was being built in order to be produced. I didnt know it was a private project just for kicks.
