I had the pleasure of meeting Gene Adams at Legg Lake this morning. Being a relatively new gas boater, all I knew about him was what I had read here. He is a very entertaining and knowledgeable guy. And one heck of a craftsman too! Looking at all the one of a kind hardware on his boats, and his...

I ran at las Vegas and had a pretty close look at the boat. I have to say it is quite different in design compaired to any thing that is running in G-1 sport hydro right now. And for as little time as Eric had on it, they were getting it trimmed pretty quickly. Sunday the wind came up early...

Re:prehistoric outriggers Hammer, Thanks for all the information. Opens up my eyes to a lot of rigger theory. I'm running an older Ellison boat with a Zenoah in it. I am afraid I'm hooked. I have two questions for you. I see on some of the rigger's what appear to be aluminum angle between the...
