I had a customer that wanted to test drive my new 30ft Liberator. We took it out on the St. Johns River for 120 mile run. We put in at Astor Fl. and ran to Palatka for lunch. Ran 46 miles at 80 mph! Man this boat is fun. We came up behind a 44ft Searay running about 30 mph. BIG WAKE! Hit it at 65 mph! I was waiting for the landing, and nothing. Just a light POOF! On the way home, we went to Silver Glen Springs. I was showing the test driver some of the cooler spots in Fl. It was great till I stepped on a log and fell in the water with my wallet and cell phone. All in all, we had a great day. I think he's buying the boat. Here's some pics and a video. That's him driving.

Randy,
I agree with Lee, that is the nicest boat you have ever built...
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am glad that u finally got it in the water so you could see for yourself how good the big cats ride.
It is difficult to describe.
Hope i get to see it and go for a ride before u sell it...

I got a deposit on it today, but I, or the new owner may bring it to River Ranch.
Mbr racing, I 'll run you title for title as long as you only start one motor! This boat was built for cruising and partying. It runs 90, but has more room and amenities and a front cabin than any cat I've seen out there. It may not be the fastest, but it sure is the plushest. I may build the next one with triples, but triples are a hard sell, so I don't know yet. If I wanna go fast, I'll jump in the flamer.

Please bring to RR will take a poll and see which is plusher and I'll stick 2 fat chicks up in the front deck if you'll bring them and still run ya.

Be careful now...the pics don't do it justice. I got a chance to see it on my way home from Miami. I've seen some pretty nice Nortecs that it would put to shame.

I don't know what's better looking. That fantastic cat or that crystal clear water with the sugar sand bottem. Anyway, looks great and good luck with the sale. I think about anyone would be proud to own such a nice piece. I know I would......
