How did you get those graphics so fast I want a wrap for my predator and I can't get ahold of anyone who can do it

That looks way dope. Has the wife ridden it yet

I got them through Chris Rauen (he does the tigercraft graphics). Not sure who does krash but hit him up or @Lm12 (motionmediagraphics)

Thanks and yes she rode it yesterday. She liked it... Way better than the freak!!! She is recovering from a back injury so didn't ride a lot. She hasn't rode almost all summer unfortunately.

So to write a quick review....
disclaimer I am not saying the FV-1 is better or worse than a DVX, I am comparing 88lbs hybrid to 45lbs carbon, with different setups.

Ride:
The FV-1 as you have seen is flappable with 760 and OEM pump. It is very stable and sits a little lower in the water than a DVX, so doesn't pop out of the water as quick for 360's etc and has a longer nozzle than my dvx. The ski plans out very quick much like a DVX which is awesome for the wife. I think the hull would benefit from an upsweep nozzle as the nose actually stays a little lower than I would like when making setup wakes (I got one on the bench to try).
Quality:
Quality is awesome, TigerCraft is certainly in the top 3 hull builders IMO. Tony told me this is not something they would normally send out so there are a few rough/sharp corners I have been addressing as I built and notice them. Alignment was a breeze. Turf glue was a little sloopy but once again this wasn't built for his customers.
Overall:
I'm very happy with the purchase. I couldn't ask for a better hull for the price. This "Proto" hull puts some other hulls of double the price to shame in all departments.
