Posting this for a buddy, hes in the middle of a sweet build.
110hp v4 omc, with a mercury champ swivel and shortie mid. Boat is a 14 1/2' Cheetah drag hull, its in the process of being redone as well. Should fly when she's done!

Very Cool....I think that will be quite the ride. You may want to get rid of the lid on the capsule...

This hull came in 2 versions. The SST 60 pure tunnel and I believe Ron has some records in the book. The other version was the drag model with the centre pod. They ran V4's on them.
The SST 60 mile record is 96 mph and the V4 drags were close to 90 mph!
