| Finally, after a long, hard two weeks in Italy working furiously on molds, here is the final production Thruster! Boy is she SEXY! WOW!!!!! And Big! I brought two back (one for Olivier and one for me) and we'll go out and get some video and photo's of the boat in action, but to whet your appetite, here are a few more shots of the insides of the boat. |

| These photos show the stock internal fittings (M seat shown - but an L is also available, as is the Testarossa - seen below). Everything has been slightly revamped from last year. The back band is a little softer and lighter, but still has the stickiness needed to really keep you in the boat. The entire back-band system works more slickly and smoothly. The thigh braces are a little flexier, and 10x stronger, so entries and exits are easier. The sear contours have been adjusted just a little to make it even more comfortable. One thing that hasnt changed is that the boat is made from HDTP, so its super stiff and strong. | |||||||||||||||

| With the Testarossa seat, at 150lbs and 5'8" I can kinda fit in the kayak - its huge on me, but paddleable because the seat is so small and contoured - now well have to see if I can operate it. Its designed for 180lbs to 250lbs range, so it remains to be seen ;-)... | |||||||||||||||
