Ben & Steve Gerlicher

 

Hello Ben & Steve,

 

Rod & Gary are just finishing up a few last minute things then your Talon will be going up to the finishing shop to have the non skid finished and the aluminum clear coated.  The sea trial went good.  You have the fastest Talon so far.  We had to check wide open throttle to make sure we had the right props.  At 4,800 r.p.m. we hit 45 knots.  The motor is very quiet.  Much quieter than the diesels.  The MMC controls are way better than the Volvo electric controls in the way that there is no delay.  The upholstery and the burgundy and black look very nice.  I have to say I think yours is the nicest Talon we have done so far.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 24th.  How, and when are you arriving?
Have a good weekend.
