Ross I've heard the story before can't remember now. :embarassed
To me, the hull looks like another "morph" of the original Brooks Bullet that Darris created in the 70s. They ride like utter hell as most of those type hulls do (NC, Bullet, Venture etc...) But they WOULD run light and setup properly. One thing you gotta give NC credit for, they AINT SKEERT of putting a ton of flake in a boat and ANY wild colorscheme you dare want. I DO like the scheme of that boat, it would REALLY look like something special with a custom stickered ProMag Mariner on it! (Hmmm now where did those seat shells come from?)
I understand they haven't built "dealer stock" boats for the last few years now but will still build for any custom order they recieve.
