Talon 22 Outboards and Inboards

New all red gelcoated hull coming out of the mold. The pictures do it no justice to how bright it is.

Ok reloaded pictures. They should be up now.

Is that Ferrari red?

Any more info on this:
We also have a deal with a name I will mention later, for a new 25' Cat that will have the capabilities for a single or twin outboard set up and a single i/o option. You all will love who we are working with on this. Everything should be finalized in January on that deal and I will give more details then

It is a little darker than a Ferrari red.

As far as the 25' Cat in the works. It is going to happen. We have to finish the 21' Edge project first and then on to the 25' and hopes of a 32' after that. I am guessing it will be a project started in 2017. When I was at Gary Armington's he showed me a really cool design that would look great for a 25' and up boat. It actually has some performance enhancers that are way ahead of it's time. Gary is way ahead of his time in everything he does. This is why I really can not disclose a lot of this new boat yet. As it is Gary's design and I am hoping to help bring it to life.

Quite a few irons in the fire. Impressive and I appreciate the fact that you are willing to let us have an inside peek.

Oh, what are the SEB 21' and 24' in your signature?

[Spectre Powerboats]

The SEB 21' is one of our current projects. It is a 21 Skater that is being widened, full length center pod option, molded in windshield, backseat moved forward, lines rounded to look more modern and a few other little changes. At this time here at the shop we are calling it the "21 Edge", but I am open to a cooler name if someone can think of one.

Oh I forgot to answer your other question. We were going to do the same with a 24' Skater, but at this time I have changed my mind and am hoping to get this new 25-26 boat through. So that was what the SEB 24 was going to be. I hate the idea of taking Pete's (Skater) old boats and redoing them, but it is so expensive to build a plug from the ground up and since Skater is not offering them anymore, that is why I was considering it. It is not totally ruled out, just focusing on the new one and it would come with help.

Good god man, you are on a tear. All the best with everything and thanks again with sharing it with us.

I have always been involved with boats from growing up in them, racing them and building them. The problem I had in the past is I was involved in so many other little business's that I could never devote the amount of time that I wanted to for just the boats, plus it is an expensive addiction we all have. My wife and I have a wire harness shop that with a little luck in 60 days or less will be sold and this will give me more time with my true passion. I have always wanted to be the big builder like Skater, Cigarette, Fountain and etc. That will never happen, but I am just happy to spend most of my day building and repairing them now. It is less money than most other jobs out there, but after all of these years of the rat race I am just aiming for being comfortable and enjoying what I do. I love the boat building and repairing, because I learn something new every day with them and meet some cool people.

The SEB 21' is one of our current projects.

At this time here at the shop we are calling it the "21 Edge", but I am open to a cooler name if someone can think of one.

This sounds so cool. The center pod should tame a lot of the 21 Skater hop and make it much better to run a single engine without destroying the mid/lower. The 24 with a center pod sounds cool too for the same reason (getting rid of the hop). Got any pictures of either?

The only picture I have is of the 21. We work on it between jobs. Right now we are still sanding and blueprinting a lot of it to get the body straight. Then we will jig it up to keep it straight when we pull it apart. We will remove the deck first, the liner and then cut it in half. That is when the fun will start. The 24 was a project I was going to do with another guy, but that deal fell through. I may still do it as now as I have another guy on this board that wants to do it. We will see. I really don't want to get myself overloaded with projects and not be able to finish them. Plus it is all a matter of cash flow for all of this.

Here is the 21'
