Well I got the itch again and Bobby & team Diamondback going to create Dixie Thunder 3, I cannot say enough about Norm, Keith & all my buddies at GTO but boats are like a good women never hurts to try a different brand hhehehe :D Plus going to try and keep the old thunder in the family, so someone go to the classified's and buy Brad's boat 8)

14 X 8 riveted and yes for welded haters another welded bottom :violent1: Bobby has lots of great ideas and I have loved the black diamond boat since FFA show. Just got to cut that sucker down a little bit 8) . Bones will be doing his magic on the art work and powerplant will be LS, just not sure which one, man some many choices, hook it up to 4 blade R, so time to get r done. :D


Motor update 1-12-2011

The die is set, thanks for all the input from all my buddies, Waterthunder, GTO, Panther & especially Bobby. I going with the MAST LS 7 427 Cubic Inch Supercharged 750hp/800 ft lb torque Hurricane motor coupled to a belt drive swinging R blades. The specs are bad a$$, dyno sheet is crazy 800 lbs at 3600 rpm with 560 hp. It is not on the website yet but check out MAST goodies. It was a hard choice but time is wasting Bobby has work to do.

The engine has been tested for the past year some may have seen it on the American boat at Nebraska races. MAST is ready to get it out and Bobby did his magic and hooked me up with it. Comes complete ready to drop in alt, fuel pump etc. If you want to know how much it cost call Bobby

No BS between me & Thunder he helped me make my choice so haters pick another fight he will be keeping my old motor running sweet for Brad.

So this thing should rock, the detail Bobby has come up with and cool ideas are just too sweet, you just have to wait to Broward to see some of them Look out BBC you are done

Dave is coooking up what we can do next, looking at a couple options, that panther surpercharged rig looks nice, anyone drove one ?? only 550hp at 5400 rpm but 540 lbs torque at 4000 rpm. The great thing about our sport is all the great choices we have in hulls, powerplants, props and the list goes on. I like to have Dave's supercharged motor waiting on his quotes. Thanks for looking.

HuntingBigun,

I got a 2011 Diamondback and I love it! It slides like my old full decks and will carry a rediculous amount of weight and not ride on the nose! Best hull i've owned yet!

I love my Diamond Back I put a jack in it and no hopping and slides it's alot of fun to ride compared to my old hull
 
Rich I have a new Diamonback hull and I promiss the hull slides like crazy the first time I took it out it scared the hell out of me because I was not expecting that my old hull did not do that
It took mea little to get used to but now I really like it

Hunting Biggun when you get your new boat built keep me in mind for the Calendar, you have all ways had BA boats and I would love to have this one on the 2012 Calendar
 
Congrats on the new build!!

They do have it going on.. Just don't forget about the craftsmanship and attention to detail!! We picked up Witchys new Diamondback hull a few weeks back and I honestly can not find 1 flaw in the whole deal!! NOT to mention it was finished and ready for pick up 4 days AHEAD of schedule :shock: :shock:
