That would be fun for the CR100, or maybe the TWS (not sure if either race org would allow it though)

1 grand tools, 10 grand boat, 3 grand trailer.....title for trailer? Hotter then Tucson in summer. At least that's what I thought. Researched the race and found they hit rocks in the river and swamped. Boat needs major repair but sounds like mostly savage.

How long until it is in Jays garage getting carbon or fiberglass layup? Jay - you never cease to amaze me.

I could see it doing laps in WRL while someone races it from the path.

With Jerry, you, Key, and Paul B manning the cranks, that thing would kick up a rooster tail like a power boat. :D

Ha, that is funny Jay. If I keep the boat, I will change the drive to direct drive. Cut out the bottom for each paddle wheel that will float up if it hits something. I have a friend who does this to all his racing HPB. Then enclose the hole with water tight bulk heads.[/quote]
