Lauterbach only built 4 of these boats this is the plug to build the mold off I will have a boat out of the mold by March . The R & D on the boat will be done by Randy Rapedius I am sure he will get the most out of the boat

Comments welcome

Could this boat run in 1/6 scale gas under IMPBA rules? Classic thunder has to be round nose right? Again, under IMPBA.

I'm not on Jims boat dock so I went to IMPBA's site. I dont think I ever read the rules for classic thunder except for the engine rules. I'm glad to see the inclusion. IMPBA sure is doing something right....47 thunder boats for the gas nats. gonna be fun.

His measurement fit per IMPBA as long as pickle fork is a max of 10% of the length of the boat. Pickles in his case would be a max of 5.3 inches. Nice work Gary. Im also working on a Thunderboat mold. See you at the races this year

Just to be safe the pickle fork on my boat is 5.0 inches I am sure there will be a lot of new pickle fork builds in the years to come

If I had not seen some of Phil thomas's round nose boats run I would go get me a pickle fork boat in a heart beat. That said, I believe that whoever does their homework ....and LOTS of testing will be fast in 2016. Including this gorgeous looking pickle fork.

I.M.P.B.A. rule states that the pickle fork shall not exceed 10% of the hull length and be modeled after a classic era boat (1950-1970).
