Interested in seeking more info on the Viper
Anyone got a link please
No link yet. Contact AHPC directly if you want to know more. But there is a buzz in the network. Somebody is leaking info and that is usually a sign that something is coming. A while back they really wanted to have the prototype on the water this winter, meaning now !
Last I spoke to Greg was early november.
Last I heard of Jim was his announcement that he terminated his company Boyerfibre Craft and that he wasn't building any boats anymore. Alot of stuff went over to AHPC under the direction of Greg Goodall but the Taipan moulds did not. Jim has kept those, probably in storage somewhere, but can't respond to any order because he doesn't have the tools anymore. Similar story with the A's. Glenn Ashby and Scott Pickering are now producing the new flyer A-cat under the Geltek name and "The Tool" A-cat moulds were given back to the original owner. That leaves AHPC with only mark 4 and 5 boyer A-cat moulds but no-one is buying those types anymore. And of course the Taipan 5.7 was discontinued a while ago.
So this leaves AHPC producing ONLY the Capricorn at this time.
I imagine that if they didn't had an new design coming that they would want one relatively soon. Greg assured me personally (and to some others as well) that the Viper F16 was that new design. He quoted me even the retail prices in different area's. But currently I'm also waiting for a sign that launches the boat in earnest. Haven't seen it yet.
So my best advice is to just phone AHPC and ask them.
