That was shot no more than 100 feet from my boat.

Of interest to anyone actually wanting a Valiant, much of what you saw is customizeable. All of the systems are EASILY accessible. Very easy. In fact, they put basically that entire boat together then start adding systems. Why? Isn't that a waste of time/money? Certainly. But that way, you can be assured that whatever went in, can come out.

THousands of other things I could say too... but very well built boat and a great boat for its intended use.
