It lives. Aerial 8.

[AlbanyMotorsports]

I will post up some pictures shortly. It will be in Daytona.

It has a number of changes from the Q8 and Ill try and get some pictures of the them for you all to see. I think it looks awesome and I cant wait to ride it. They clearly spent a lot of time and r and d on this new hull. The changes make sense to me.

Oh....and this 1200 is the scariest sounding motor I have ever heard. I cringe when I start to crank it over.

There are a few things I have noticed and verified with Eric. The nose is now flatter on the bottom deck. The rear chines are flat at the rear and not as deep from front to back. The bond rail is a lot wider than the Q8 (in fact, i believe the entire topdeck is a little wider but I could be mistanke. Obviously the pump is a mile away from where it was before. The firewall inside the hull is set way back to allow u to use a stock driveshaft (housing further back). This is also a great way to do it without taking up all the forward tray area like the rickter. The top deck tray area is extended out over the pump. He did some nice cosmetic changes with the hood and nose on the top deck which you cant treally see in the picks. His molds must be really nice because this is just gray gel and I didnt even need to put a buffer on it. Still strong as hell like all of EME's stuff.

Overall I am really impressed and excited to try it. Ill try and post a vid of it running because it is fooking wild.

And huge thanks to my brother Jason for building another fine specimen. Eric and his people did a phenomenal job getting everything together in time and he sent it to me with the motor and drive line bolted in it.

Hope you make it. I hope its not like the SKY in the rear, doesnt look like it in the pics, but the sky was a HUGE mistake IMO. The Q* on the other hand was a great little hull and with some improvements would have been perfect. Hoe the Areal 8 is just that.
