Vertical surfaces are usually not a problem especially in areas like the transom and sponson rear walls that you can get small, thin wedges in. If you removed the mold from the plug without a problem then you should be on the downhill side of the project. Also, the more hulls that are pulled...

Anybody that would bring more than 5 classes of nitro boats to one race has two things.....a thick wallet and a high tolerance for headaches. :blink:

Yes Don, the sheep are scared here, but not as scared as they are in Jackson TN. :o

Nothing unusual about that here in Georgia!

Very cool stuff. Thanks for the info! Mark

I was running my B tunnel at a friends lake a while back and now they want to get their 9 year old son a boat that he can run there. Needs to be something that he can run himself so a nitro boat won't do yet. What is out there, electric, that offers good construction RTR or almost RTR and will...

I would like to see Twiggy behind one of James tunnel boats. Actually I would like to see him skipping along behind an F hydro!

Mark, tell him to get well soon! Did he get his boat back?

The outboard "rigger" in the pics would not be legal in IMPBA or NAMBA simply because it has no tunnel. It would have to be decked over to form a tunnel and then well, out goes the reason it was designed in the first place. Might make a cool OB hydro. Don't forget also that one of the ways a...

Personally, I don't think any racing should be limited to to one train of thought on design. No one can argue with the impact the tunnel hull had on outboard racing as soon as it was introduced in the mid sixties. Outboard racing (lifesize included) is 99% sprint course racing, and the only...

As air density increases the fuel to match that air has to be increased. As air density decreases the fuel must be decreased to prevent the mixture from being too rich. Although air density and air temp can act independently, generally more fuel will be needed on a crisp cold day than on a warm...

No you sure won't! Amazing what this guy compiled in this book in 1973. Some of the things that are seen as new an innovative today are covered in great detail in this book, such as inside stingers. Also interesting reading in this book is the fact that the AMA (motorcycle competitions) had a 92...

Hey Butch! I have recently got my hands on a copy of the two stroke tuners handbook by G. Jennings. Really good info on mods and tuned pipe design and specs. I will get some of the pipe specs and tuning tips out of the book for you. It's really good stuff to know. Mark

Not the best looking tunnel boat around but sure was a fast one! Fast and ugly has its advantages. You don't worry so much about crashing it! :lol:

MUHA!! I knew he would be back! :lol:

Glad to help out John. I will get with you on the membership. As for breaking motors in I will be real busy doing that as you know. Got boats to build too. I have a feeling there will be another class at next years Tunnel Championship. ;) Mark

Yes I was guarding my new prize with my life. I told Steve Cirmella when the raffle started that I had never won anything in a drawing. Got down to the last two prizes, looked grim as always. Ron Byrd won the TS2. Last prize was the MAC. BINGO!!! My number finally hit! So, one of my HTB's is...

I would also like to add that James is one great tunnel driver. Not afraid to dice it up with whoever or whatever is on the course. And...I think he is now holds the record for the most number of laps put on one outboard motor at any event!! I see huge potential as "Mr. Tunnel Boat" in...

Yes, go to the race results forum, Bobby posted all the results. C.M.B put on a great race and the weather was great too. Competition was incredible! If you missed this one, you should not miss it agian when they have it next year. Mark

Atlanta airport is a little over 4 hours from Savannah. Atlanta Model Boaters pond where the Spring Nats. is held is near the airport. Lot of neat things are going to be happening here in D 13. Rich history here, lot of cool things to see and do.
