They look similar in design to the European GT30 wing shape hulls. https://www.richmond-aeromarine.co... |

It's great that there are now new engines available that anybody can buy and race. Hard to find parts definitely keep people from entering. Hopefully we will see something similar with T-boats in the future. The Mercury four stroke was run in T750 for a number of years as it’s an eligible motor. Wh... |

Genuine Yamaha head gaskets are the only ones worth running. TSR use o rings which is a good concept but they're hopeless in practise, less than 10 hours on mine and water was getting into the head.

I think the big draw back with running a bridgeport sleeve in an oval port will be the longevity of the bridge in that motor, it will may run better but for how long, without the casting behind the bridge you are going to losing a significant amount of cooling to the bridge, this maybe fine for a dr... |

The Gordon family on 6 mile has many performance boats....including a critchfield, a delta and a 13 foot checkma... |
