Mike,

Your Exide back-up boat is that from Shannon Harrison in Canada?? If so I have some updates that will make that boat corner and run much better. Sponson angles, Prop and skid fin.

BTW - New 93 Circus Two wing all carbon/kevlar vacuumed bagged with upgrade from team manager in Madison, paint by "Fat Boyz Collison"

Well, I am not running a scale this year I have gone to the dark side. Yes, Gas HA HA aha.

Na the 7-11 might make an appearance this year. Maybe maybe someday my painter will call me and say your Navy boat is ready.

Phil, Chris and I are making 1/6 scale gas boats too. So maybe we can race in a class this year. I am making 1979 Squire Shop and Chris is making 1979 Circus Circus.

Good to hear about the gas boats. Harvey Liberman in Knoxville is building a T6. He will bring it to Evansville this summer.

Your boats the 1/8th plan plus 20% size? full 1/6th scale is quite large boat.

Guys-- I know I'm not in D-14 but we just popped the first BUD T-6 Gas Scale Hydro out of the mold and should have it on the water by May for testing - We lost 4 pounds from the E-lam hull that we tested last year. My OLY Beer boat from last season was close to 1/8 scale nitro boat speeds and with all the new go fast parts going into this new build I believe we will be giving the nitro scales a run for the money.. We will be running a R-254 with the JG 26cc HEMI top-end using the JG rear exhaust header with a insane ceramic hot pipe- We tested the set-up in the E-lam and we were able to spin a much larger prop and probably gained 4 to 5 MPH in that heaver hull.. All of you building Gas Scale Hydros should think about coming to Seattle in October for the NW Scale Hydroplane Championship race to show off your boats..

Hey Phil. I like to see a U-10 Close Call or Wildfire. Both boats are beautiful with alot of color. Also I haven't seen anyone in D14 ever run one.
