You have the LS series or Lightning Series, which is the higher end of the HS boats. Very nice. Apparently the LS and E series had slightly different hull designs, LS being a lil faster. The LS also came with all the bells and whistles that the E series did not such as, hydrolic shocks for the compartment lids as opposed to springs, along with lights in the compartments and a few other smaller things. Congrats. Kevin D
