    I will put up a few screen shots tonight but the initial hull model of the Duca is complete. Still deciding on fabrication methods

    She will be a really nice boat I'm thinking, just got my pre-order in with Stephen at Strike. Love that bow. Are you working with Stephen on the project?

    Great news Greg, it should be right on then. Stephen said it incorporates some new features that will simplify, and speed up assembly, but he did not go into any details on what they are.

    My wife wanted to get me a Christmas present, so I asked Stephen to please list it as a pre-order so she could get me one ordered. As soon as he listed it, she ordered me one.

    I like the fact that it's close to 12 pounds in the IRC, so plenty of room to do what you want with any kind of layout, plus it will be able to fight on either side as needed to help balance a fleet.

    Tyler has one. A very nice CL. I think he runs it around 10lbs. Don't over load it or you cut down on it's excellent acceleration.
