Jamie is 100% correct... and the Sauvage version was a far snappier boat on a wave to boot. I kinda wish I would have kept mine some days just to have it around. Most of them were broken as the plastic wasn't the greatest... although my old one is still getting used and abused to this day.

You guy's are right on it. I may have met you Jamie when I came to England to deliver the Spanish Fly plug to Colin. He and I were touring boat shops and you may well be the Jamie I met.

Craig, you picked your boat up at my shop down in the holler at Erwin. That is where the plugs were tooled for both boats, although when I got to England the crate w/ the Spanish Fly plug in it had been patially crushed so I spent about a week doing plug repair in a cool little shop in Birmingham, UK.

But the plastic on the first ones did suck, mine still floats mostly because I don't use it in cold weather.
