We got some more feedback today from our Attorney. Hopefully this afternoon she will greenlight the release of some more descriptions and video content. I am going to be filming video this afternoon just in case. Getting excited now!!! We can't wait to show you guys and gals our new pride and joy!!

And thanks @OperationROL & @Big Shasta we love what we do and have found that if we listen to our customers that our product can become better than we ever could have done on our own. This product is made for you! We're glad that this board provides us with easy communication with people that are using our product in the real world! Gotta love technology!

I'm no Vanna White but I am willing to volunteer as a stand in ( for proportional purposes obviously ) if needed during filming...;)

Ok, more big news! Today we filed our second patent application for the Lateral Thruster!! Woo Hoo! Tomorrow I plan to film a series of videos which will highlight the design elements for each version.

We will attempt to illustrate the two unique approaches to the designs and help you to understand how they work and more importantly why you'd want to add a kit to your boat. I had hoped to create the videos today but we got delayed proof reading the patent application draft for the Single Engine version. Handled that and got a confirmation from the Patent Office today that we're filed and good to go with our debut!

More to come tomorrow, likely after lunch if all goes well. Stay tuned!

I'm guessing it's a new reverse bucket similar in design to (and hopefully improved over) the almost "U" shaped reverse buckets on fx model waverunners and older seadoo pwcs.

We're going to offer during the pre-sale portion of the launch $249.95 for the single engine version and $399.95 for the twin engine version! Once we're through the production process this number could go higher but for now we will agree to sell to early adopters at this target price point.

We also want to begin taking pre-sales today and hope to be able to deliver production level products by the middle to end of September.
