Unfortunately, the only reasonable conclusion I can come to on Will's silence is that his device was so forward thinking and amazing that he has been killed and the idea stolen by a conglomerate set upon ruling the world!

I laugh, but I hope not.

Nah guys. I was right all along. The device was a Mr. Fusion power-plant. 1.21 GW (1,622,637 hp).

I think Will finally achieved 88 mph, and is now somewhere in the future.....

Spy photos prove it...

That powerplant looks suspiciously like a bilge pump... Probably the source of the patent issues holding up the reveal.

Update from Patent Office:

They are finalizing final draft but in order to be safe the attorney wants another attorney to read the draft before they submit it to us. That unfortunately will be tomorrow.

Once we review the draft we'll then be given the opportunity to make changes or proceed with the language as is.

My best guess is that there will have to be a small change or two, and then we'll have to get the thing in the mail. Hopefully she'll give us the green light to announce something, even if it's just an announcement of what it is....trust me I'm as excited to share this as you guys are to see it.

I got it. Something all boats from 96 up can use and need. An easy install better/backup bilge pump system. Maybe? Not as flashy and cool as all the stuff dealing with the jets or reverse buckets and goes directly against my hopes and dreams for a simple ballast solution but.. It fits the criteria posted earlier.

Did you make this a second bilge or disable the stock one?
I replaced the stock one. It works way better, and I can use the helm switch. I wired the float switch (fused) directly to the battery, which means that it will run even if my main battery switch is off. I wired the override wire to my helm. This way I can force it on at the helm if I want. It also has a "float test" knob so you can test it from time to time. I didn't like the fact that you need to have the stock one "on" for it to be automatic. It either is automatic or not at all in my view. For this reason, I think the stock bilge is completely worthless.
...sorry for the threadjack.

Sorry guys. I let you down. I met on the road here in town Will's truck towing a FSH. Caught me off guard going opposite direction so I did not get a good chance to scope out the boat...maybe next time.

Well I will spoil the surprise I have seen the add on. It is a new insert that replaces the old metal insert in the clean out plug area and new plugs that make all clean out plugs the new screw in style that are on the newer boats so there is no possibility of a blow out sorry I couldn't keep silent anymore.

I really hope this isn't true.
