. . . it will be like Eric Clapton in London, 1966 . . . you are going to see it, spray painted on walls at the Yough and Hudson take outs . . . "Marko is God"

Marko,
The Fatboy dimemsions seem excellent
- Short and relatively wide. What performance characteristics will you be aiming for as you develop the hull?
I am psyched about this.
A Fan,
Bruce

HI
I will be focusing on stability and easiness combined with superb performance
... pretty tricky ... seriously...
stability and resurfasing .... with good speed and manouverability... im just testing a clean separation tail for extra tracking.

hey Marko,
Yes, I imagine it's tricky - that's why nobody has ever created a boat this good before! haha.
What is the time frame on this boat looking like? I can't say that I have ever actually been excited about a new boat, but I am for this one.
I don't care if it's called the Fatboy, I'm calling mine "The Marko" or maybe even "The Marko Polo" and I'm going to paint that on it!

shh!
but after all the remarkable things that I've done for Finland!
and you know, after i leave this boat in my living room all winter -- and use it as a couch of course -- Drakkar might just catch on as the newest hip line of modernist furniture. I can already see the reviews: "This new chair has excellent primary stability . . . "
Man, this website is getting wacky
Alden
to be honest ...

Marko,
I think you are on target with the performance criteria you are emphasizing for the Fatboy. I'll bet it is going to be tricky
. Don't let anyone rush you through this. It will take time to get it right. But I'm sure you understand the process based on the rave reviews you are getting on the Wheelboy
.
SYOTR,
Bruce
