Grub's Miss U.S. down under

Just thought I'd post a link to a new picture page of my boat that our club has very kindly posted.

That's a very nice scale. What type of hull is that? Newton?? And what did you use for the driver? What type of motor?

The boat was built by Alan Smith here in Australia and I think it was built from Newton's plans. The boat has had several owners (didn't see it much though) and I got it about six months ago and now its on the water for every race meeting I can attend. The donk is an old OPS67 and which runs very reliably however the new OPS is ready to drop in. The driver is just an epoxy one but I don't know who made it (it looks alright but no match for the cloth/flexible drivers).

I am getting ready for the Australian Nationals in Adelaide this year and I can't wait to fire her up.
