I tried today lol.Can’t you look up patents that have been filed?
That’s Chaparral’s patent.
Currently JBP has evacuated from Hurricane Michael. So we should give them some slack.Stop teasing us...either tell us or Wait
Yamaha would do that??? No way! lolol.For context JBP has had patent issues before and Yamaha has a long history of skirting patents instead of licensing innovative products.
So it is perfectly understandable that Will would wait until all the paperwork is completed to release.
Pretty sure. I seem to recall a similar “something’s coming, but wait a bit” message around that product.BTW - I'm curious, is the JBP Lateral Thruster patented?

Right. That's why I wonder, with these things it can take forever (or longer...).P

They closed the factory and evacuated. I believe the factory is sufficiently inland to be safe from the flooding. It is Panama City Beach which is separated from the mainland that was supposed to have so much flooding. JBP is in Panama City.Anybody heard from @JetBoatPilot ? Aren't they located in Panama Beach? Please post up an update.
Yamaha was working on their version before jbp released theirs. A few years is my understanding. An integrated piece vs. Bolt on would patent different unless patent was for the entire concept.Yamaha would do that??? No way! lolol.
Oh, wait, they patented a rudder ("articulating keel") in AD 2015.
BTW - I'm curious, is the JBP Lateral Thruster patented?

I only have one.....dangit.....I'm out of the running.....I do have a nice plaque from the company I was working for at the time. Complete with the $1 bill the paid me for the rights. It's really pretty neat. I think it's in the basement somewhereI have two. They took a while and I get to one up @swatski on something!
There’s another thread where JBP reported they are OK but suffered building damage. I’m really hoping for the best for them. I’ve seen videos from the area and it looks like complete devastation down there. Especially in the Mexico Beach area. Very sad. The gulf is home to some of the most top rated beaches in the US.I only have one.....dangit.....I'm out of the running.....I do have a nice plaque from the company I was working for at the time.

Anyone heard from the JBP crew?
