I picked up my new Blade at Falcon Marine last week and my friend took a couple of pictures of a Blade and Falcon double stacked on a trailer. I thought the forum might be interested in seeing the two boats side by side. Matt indicated that he would continue building both boats.

I've not included a picture with a post before so I hope I get this right.

Let's see if I can remember: You have to go the "posting form" and click [u]file manager[u] from post options; then up load the picture file into that screen (if you saved the picture on your computer you can use the browse function), click "add file" and "done adding files". I think.

I though the bows of the Falcon where a bit "fuller" on the earlier pics I saw, nice looking cat though.

Are you guys able to see any of these pictures? I saw the ones Robi re-posted, but now all I get are the little white boxes with the x in them.

Scarecrow: Cant see your pics, someone will have to resize them to 100KB and upload them with the File Manager (I would do it myself if it wasnt so late overhere).

I haven't been able to see any of the pictures all of you tried to post. But I did see the Falcon up close at Tradewinds. The top of the bow is fuller than the Blade.

Well, now I know how to add a picture

I saw a couple of Vipers over the weekend as well, and the Falcon reminded me of the Viper, but the Viper still had more hull volume.
