They are in Wyoming, Minn. @ X-Treme paint. 8-)
Aaron (who brokered my Virage deal with Howard) has the molds. Here is his personal composite Virage. The molds are pretty rough and alot of fairing needs to be done after the part is pulled. The hull mold is the worse and he had to put inserts in the bottom. Trying a multi step sponson. He doesn't know if this combo will work. We talked at length about him laying up a new hull for me. My hull was the best deal going and guaranteed to perform. Aarons is experimental and will be built strictly for top end.

Awesome Ron, Aarons boat looks killer too. I don't care about the part being a little rough, the hull I have is a little rough too lol. I'm going to sell off my three Vipers, the Vixen. Keep the HST and the Virage and my Vector and go on with life lol.

Thats awesome! I didnt know Aaron had the molds but I did know he had set everything up with Howard for ya. Would be awsome if Aaron put up a build somewhere so we can watch as he builds that boat. I am interested in it now and would love to see the outcome. Aaron does some top notch work so im sure this one will come out amazing!

I still think it is a very viable boat in a better economy. I just need something I can put four seats in... and haul *** of course. especially for my Lake Huron runs. My HST is unbeatable in 1 foot or less, but anything more with an errent swell is not very fun, especially with zero freeboard.

I have seen the videos many many times and have seen the boat and beyond impressed with it.
