Like I've said before, I like the 25 Talon hull better than anything else I've ever ridden in, so sounds like you're starting with a winner with the new molds. The problem with the 25 Talon is the deck from the 80's, or maybe even 70's that's completely obsolete from a functional and a styling standpoint. Actually I think the 25 Talon is near perfect in style and proportion from the front seats rearward, but coming forward from there they fall off the cliff. We've got both a dual outboard and single stern drive version of the 25 Talon. Personally I don't like the deck on the one pictured at the top any better and hope you will replace it with something more contemporary. It seems as though more and more boats are going to a "look through" instead of looking over a faux windshield, poking the head up in 100+ MPH winds designs. Unfortunately the twin canopies on my 28 Eliminator Daytona aren't much better from a wind deflection on driver's face standpoint. Lotsa' stuff around with short, contoured functional windshields. I think if you build a 26 like that you'll have a winner. Good luck with the new hull.
