My guess would be the Cap'n... He seems to be a knowledgeable fellow with some great insight into the Industry.
BUT.... Cougarcruiser could have some spy shots from his factory tour...
And firecadet613 seems to live on the web so it also could be him....
Then there are also the couple of dealers that post here sporadically.

It's a race that anyone could win!

Back when cougarcruiser took his tour it was probably still in the drawing/testing phase. When I was there in July they were VERY tight lipped about it and defiantly did not let me see it.

The same day its unveiled is the same day mine goes into winter storage :(.

I may have been nearby the new 305, but other than some tidbits of details and MAYBE some concepts... I have nothing.

Wish I did, but I have nothing.

I've fallen out of touch with the board other than lurking... work's been crazy.



When is the 305 going to be announced? January?

A shot from a very damp/humid morning yesterday before the public was admitted. It looks like they have the cockpit grill fired up on the V305 cooking some Usinger's sausages for breakfast. Nummy.

as promised, some pictures :

I was impressed. Most notable feature, the huge front windshield, about 7 feet altogether, makes visibility great. Down below, V-birth with dining area at the foot end, and midbirth sleeping area. Outside a grill at the stern and decent size swim platform.
