The fact he uses the bottom portion of a larger boat for his hull reminds me of the early days of small V bottom boats where we did the same thing and put wood decks on the fibergla... |

| Mercury is the only outboard manufacturer interested in boat racing. You only need to look at motorcycle racing to see that companies such as Suzuki and Yamaha can manufacture high performance racing 4 strokes. They know how to build those motors.
