Here you have a group of photos to show the cockpit. . In the center you can see the
tunnel escape hatch, in case the boat flips the crew can climb out the bottom of the boat without even getting wet. You can
also see our LIVORSI gauges (www.livorsi.com) with which we monitor all ot the boats functions. As well, the boat is equipped with a www.LathamMarine.com power steering system, which makes the 100MPH corners no problem.....

Fresh from being rigged. The twin Mercury 2.5 liter outboards are on the boat.
The motors are 280 HP each and completely stock. Our power heads are maintained by Offshore Concepts in Sarasota, Fl. The
Sport Master gear cases are 2:1 ratio and are maintained by www.ColabellaPerformance.com from St. Cloud, Fl. You can also
see the LATHAM MARINE steering on there as well. The boat is also sitting on a custom SKATER trailer.

Here is a shot of the boat, at the teams Bradenton shop after rigging was completed.
You can see the much higher stance and profile than the previous boat. It has shown great promise in very early running. Special
thanks to Tim Kenny for his help getting the new boat rigged.

Here is a great shot showing the profile of the boat. The staff at Douglas Marine did
an awesome job with the boat. The DoublEdge team is very excited about the prospects with the boat. It has shown to handle
bumpy and flat water very well.
