Post by: tiger on April 24, 2005, 09:18:20 PM
I looked some of the pics and counted the number of seats and there were 12 seats in the version they have...and we complain about 11 seats

why don't they just throw out those lame foot braces and put some grill meshing in its place?

I don't know about the grill meshing, but I'm surprised you didn't recommend  a set of torsion bars or struts for each seat  :rofl:

Would somebody please offer a better DB at about the same price as the Gems and permanently put those bozos out of business? I'm seriously starting to lose faith in the free market economy if people can sell crap and continue to get away with it.

hmm.. Considering that DragonZone and FCRCC have 7 boats between them and I believe Victoria is selling their two... that would leave two Gemini's needed for Alcan's nine lanes... I wonder if ADBF picked up Victoria's two or if they bought two of these.

One of the Ocean Pacific gemini's from Victoria was on the floating dock at DragonZone on Monday night, so I think it's safe to say that we won't be seeing the new version of the Gemini at Alcan.

You know Guido, it's amazing what you learn when you basically listen to people when they're talking.  You should try it sometimes.

I beg you wrong on the new version Chaos.  I was privileged enough to sit in one of the Ocean River gemini's and noticed that it had some engraving on the seats.....it was really quite neat actually.  It also had a dragon engraved on the steersperson's area as well...I thought it was pretty cool.....you should check it out.

But Chaos....I just don't see myself adopting that kind of skill.  You must be gifted....so many years of experience....can it be taught?

Guido: Chaos listens so well, because he's always been told to be quiet and listen in the corner...  :twisted:  :P
