Welcome Delta Powerboats!

Welcome indeed. Fantastic looking vessels.

Saw the ad few minutes back and gladly clicked it. Very nice line-up from a great designer. Well done and best of luck.

Cheers.

I'm a big fan of Lars' work. In my opinion the perfect blend of ultra modern style while retaining traditional marine practicality. The results are cutting edge designs that still actually look like boats! I think the whole line is a knockout.

BTW... Is it just me or does anybody else see a little bit of the '66 Mercury Park Lane Breezeway in the 54IPS!

Cheers Lars. Nice to see you in the rotation. It's also been quite a delight to watch (and learn) these boats develop over the past few years from ideas, to drawings, to engineering, to a mold, etc. etc. and now on to FLIBS.

Congratulations on the success and glad to see your support here at YF.

Persistence is a remarkable trait.

Congratulations!!!

Hi Lars,

I read that in the next motor boat and yachting there will be a special on the Delta powerboats.

Seems there is a lot of interest.

Good luck.

I hope that motorboat and yachting publishes a Video-Review. Would be a nice to have a non swedish-spoken Video-Review.

Congrats Lars!

The side-view of the rendering almost makes it look like a cat.
Would that be a future option Lars?

Are you coming to the Show...?

First beer on me.

Thanks all! Many of you have seen this venture almost from the start 10 years ago. We started out from two existing hulls, 25 and 32 feet, and when we were ready for a 40 footer I began to do all of the design myself.

The fact we are now building the 54 and soon an 80-footer makes it necessary to market the boats to a wider audience and I can not think of a better place than YachtForums to be seen!

Norseman, I would have loved a cold one at FLIBS, but I can not go there this year. You are right that the straight bow makes the boat look like a cat, but it should more resemble my vintage 1931 Racer...

/Lars

Oh well, you can always send the Swedish Bikini Team instead and I will be happy to buy 'em a beer and show 'em around...

Congratulations Lars as well! I hope the upcoming review of the 80 takes place in warmer climes than the 54 review. I got cold just looking at the pictures of that review. However, the 80 bow looks like it might be handy for ice-breaking so maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Delta AT FLIBS 2012

Delta Powerboats has an absolutely incredible location at the show!





They will be at the South end of "B" Dock in slips 240 and 241.

Slip 240 is one of the very few slips at the show that has unfettered access to the Intracoastal which means they can easily come and go for demo rides!!!!

This location is right across from the Jungle Queen's berth and the main drag past the show, Seabreeze Blvd aka A1A, so Delta will be getting lots of exposure from the street and from JQ passengers in addition to the sport fishing boats docked along the same canal.

As show locations go, other than the Face Dock, it does not get much better than this!!!!

And most important of all the closest Cocktail Barge is only 3 docks away!!!!!!

Thanks Carelm and I hope Disco is right, we had another location close to the Designers tent, but because the D54 arrival will be in the last minute we got this slip where you can get in without problems. And as you say, we can probably go out for a demo as well..

Lars,
Congrats! I like the look; low and sleek profile, something apart from the standard hulls we often see.
Let me know if you need any photos of her while in Ft Lauderdale.

Congratulations, Lars!

Thank you both, I hope a lot of people can get onboard to see the 54 as well. It would be interesting to get some reactions on the interior design.

And Tom, I always need running shots, but I guess the weather will postpone all joyrides until after the show.

Nice coverphoto on the new mby magazine of dec 2012!!!
