And another classic "chase" pic surfaces.
Another different race number.

That's one photo you should get mitchies uncle to print on a canvas.... It would look like a awesome painting.....

Just Curious.....why the twin outboards instead of i/o as it orginally had?
Is the hull intended for smashing through typical Georgian Bay 4' rollers or more inland calmer waters?

Doug...there's lots of reason the primary being that we are FAR more familiar with outboards than we are with sterndrives (as you can tell by the boats that have come from our place lol). I know 3BP is struggling with going outboard now for the sake of originality but the cost of motors that will match the performance and reliability of his 250's puts them out of reach...as does proper drives/rigging for them. We both agree that a nice set of 496's with Bravo's would be sweet but even used they cost 5 times what the outboards were and would be MUCH harder to rig and set up.

plus i think pound for pound it will be faster with outboards... a Modern twist to a classic...

I think any twin, tripple, etc. outboard application has an immense cool factor.

Would they also (outboards) not be a bit better on gas?

any progress ? is this thing going to hit 5gb next season ?

Well... iv been back at the velocity after a long break and with a couple weeks off work, Im hoping to really hit it hard and get the structural nightmare part of this over.

I have roughly another 18h of straight grinding in the recent little bit and feel I will be done grinding tomorrow morning.

And for those of you who have done core. You can Imagine how excited I am!

After:

Jesus...that is something! Good work. How thick is the outer skin?

Sooo much work i dont see him for hours .... at this rate it will be in the water by may...lol
