Activator vs. Joker vs. Phantom vs.Kryptonite

Thanks. I honestly don't know if Will Smith has changed the design over the years. My old race boat and the current pleasure boat were both built in 1999, so I'm guessing that he tweaked a few things on his newer hulls.

Sit down style isn't for everyone, but I sure as hell like it. I wish I could get an aerial video like the one that you posted - awesome!

I imagine that forced air system must have too some R&D over the years. I would buy a pleasure Phantom easily. I will always have a sit down boat from now on. It is just a totally different experience. Got 7 guys together and we pitched in for a chopper for a couple hours. It was cool. What you runnin in your pleasure boat?

We pulled the #5 from the raceboat and put it on. Blue Thunder, the builder of our race engine built a 540 for me and we use the CMI Big Tube headers from the raceboat as well. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to experiment with different props - the best that I have seen is 87 mph.

I'm getting bored with the graphics (or lack thereof) and hope to have it painted next spring.

Joker builds a very nice solid boat.

I have ridden in a Kryptonite, have owned 2 Superboats and now have an Activator. Haven't ridden in the others but just took mine in 3-5's with Ed Thornton (ex-racer) a week ago and really put the boat through the ringer. Felt very confident in that boat in those conditions. A US Customs helicopter snick up behind us and we didnt know he was there until he was 25 feet over our heads, heads sticking out of the helicopter waving at us. Wish I had a camera. One of the cooler moments that remind me why I love these boats and go through all the bs of engine repairs, etc.
