Eyra – Question

What market exactly are you targetting with the Eyra? I saw it at the Classic show and was impressed, but it looked to be about the same size as my Puma. Is it more of a speed hull? I could see that selling well. I am anxiously awaiting details on performance, storage layout, and price to see if it will be my next rig. Ive never been to the OI but a chance to ride in or drive one would prolly get me there.

Faster IS better. Gimme a two fitty and Ill be grinnin all the way to the weigh in. Theres nothin bettern passin a guy at 76mph that claims his rigll do 86gps.

You can see similar size dimensions(length/beam/lower h/p choices) on the Nitro Z8 as far as what market is like……except the BC will be lighter and faster, better overall quality/performance. 96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

We think the Eyra is a great model for a 20 boat with a 200 SHO. We saw exceptional fuel mileage on the one we drove. To this point only two people have driven the Eyra. So opinions are just that as no one really knows. Though we know it has a market and we are impressed. The target on the Eyra is for folks who are used to lighter, faster performance hulls who would like a more conventional platform. Also for those who would prefer a 200 on a 20 model that will stretch out there and still have 70 MPH potential. We think this hull will do both. There is even some consideration for a few limited models to have a 300 engine on them. Though that is limited only as the hull with a 250 engine we feel is more than most would want. It is exceptionally hard on acceleration from 20 up to 75. Our concern on the Eyra is that some people will opt for the Eyra instead of the Puma FTD, Puma or Cougar FTD. The ride of the newer 09-10 hull is really good after we tweaked it a bit. We dont want people who are really meant to be in a Puma FTD to decide on an Eyra just because of the eye appeal and it not meet their needs. We know a market exists, though we are going to be cautious that this is the consumer who selects it. In all the 200 will be good and we will have a few out in a couple of months that will be slipping across the water. Then the opinions will be experiences. Rick
