I see the brochure posted in the thread talked about their V-toon technology. I assume their middle toon is lower in the water, then, right? They used to call their performance oriented toons "SHP" but I do not see SHP mentioned in that flyer. Did they go away from SHP now? Anyone know?

Hmm less than a 1/2 hr from my house. Maybe I'll bring my boat down there and do some back to back comparisons. :biggrin2

Would like to check out there V-toon setup. This just seems nuts to me:
