LOL so true Robert so true..... Sean as far as the tanks i'm not settled yet but i'm leaning towards the sullivan slant oval 8 oz tanks just to get the boat on the water quickly. i know Walt has some metal tanks for this boat but the time is running close my namba dist 1 racing season is only a few weeks away. i also have to put some paint on a SUPER SECRET COWL that i modified for this boat. i hope no one takes offense when i reveal it but it's a one shot deal so there are no duplicates. i wanted my boat to be different and unique and I favor a different style than what's availble for this hull(check my Gen 1 hull is my gallery for a hint on what i did to my GEN 2). i'll get a few more pics up later

Gas is for lawnmowers, and people who don't understand the concept of glow fuel powered engines.

 

[Mark Linden]

Easy. Gas is also cheap.

 

[M@MRacing]

Guys like the Gas concept because it is pull a rope and go, yes gasoline it self is cheap but gas hardware, engine, huill and everything else is expensive i could have 3 nitro boats to one gas. Never ever get me to change over Nitro is for racing Gas is for weedwackers

Boat is looking good. Lets see that secret canopy

 

[Lay26]

well for a few years i have been admiring the SS45 Cowl i really think that Phil did a great job on it. during that time i ran the Whiplash sport 40 and really love the boat and Brian did a great job on the boat as well, but i always wanted a stealth cowl. while not having too much time i got the idea of grafting the cowl to the boat that i liked from another IW member that did it on a AC sport 40, i'm not saying that the Blazer cowl isn't good, it's just WHAT I LIKE. this may just be the FIRST STEALTH WHIPLASH who knows. I reapeat that THIS IS WHAT I LIKE so i hope the manufactures don't get offended. this is a one shot deal and i'm not selling any copies of this cowl.

 

[CySlyde]

it does look cool

 

[SeanKewley]

VERY NICE!

What kind of paint scheme are you going with?
