I got back from an amazing weekend in Seattle just in time to sign for my new boat.  The name "Bullet the Blue Sky" seemed to fit...  ;D

all good news so far, I love the hull design, very light (26#) and looks wide enough (30") to be really stable, especially from a seated position.  The inset connection points are located perfectly for my BlackPak box and the Vantage seat.   Twist and stow rudder install looks straightforward and that leaves one big task:  cutting the drive hole and installing fixtures to hold the drive in place and transfer force to the outer hull structure....

hitting the water tomorrow on what looks to be a beautiful day for some sit down paddle testing to determine an initial balance point for the seat location, once I have that, I can mark where to cut the drive hole at get at it...cheers, roger

That's nice!
Seems a shame to cut holes in it. ;)

 That looks like a fun platform and its beautiful. Looking forward to your reports.
Any idea yet on how long of a paddle you will be using with it?
SUP or Kayak paddle?

Congrats on your new toy.
