I've heard there are significant changes to the '08 Fluid Solos (new sizes aside). Any truth to this? Adrian? New, more aggressive thigh brace? New method to attach the seat to the hull? (I've seen the old system break on the ribbed plastic loop) Lighter hull?
No changes to the Fluid Solo. There is a new boat coming, which won't replace to the Solo though. The Solo is selling even more now than when it first came out. Only the Flirt will be phased out pretty soon. Can't tell you more..
Thigh braces, no changes yet, as far as I know.
Slightly different method to attach the seat and a totally new designed seat which I'm almost finished with. Stronger, lighter, more comfortable, more supportive, better looking too!
Lighter hull, yes there is some stuff happening. There should be a slight improvement in weight in the Solo. Not sure about the other boats.
