Hows this for smart packing !

[CapeTown73]

Just finished with packing for our first club day of 2015 tomorrow and thought to share a few photos to show what I managed to get in the car. This is my Corolla VERSO with all the back seats folded flat and my plywood 'mezzanine floor' installed which doubles the 'floor space'.

Top deck has my gas OB tunnel on the left, my 7.5cc own design OB tunnel on the right with my son's 7.5cc OB tunnel across the back, with some fuel containers and other toolboxes in between my two boats.

The bottom floor has my gas mono (Aeromarine XXX), my chair and some other equipment. Fortunately I don't have to take any pit tables as we each have our own pit at the club with fixed workbench. (See last photo below with me in my and my son's pit.)

Roll on tomorrow!!!

Nice Job! I like the mezzanine idea! I might just have to rig something up like that for myself next year. Loading everything for a race has become quite the puzzle for me also since I started running a few more classes.

Hi Paulrees,

I'm assuming you're asking about the pipe on my boat # 14 (I don't have a boat #44), and the pipe on #14 is a Quickdraw OB hotpipe that came with the engine, a 29.5 Pioneer.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,

Wennie,

Looking at your beautiful boats, I really want to build one gasoline tunnel for myself.

Loading a vehicle can be challenge, especially if you're limited on height like I am. I don't have a picture with me but in the back of my short bedded S-10, I put two tables, tool and parts boxes, 10X10 roof, two chairs, 2-3 gallons of fuel and a scale hydroplane. What makes this fun is the truck has a hard cover over the bed so everything has to fit below the top of the bed sides so that the cover will close. Now, with a cross country road trip coming up in June, I have to figure out how to load everything in the back of a 2011 Chevy Tahoe. This one should be really fun since the wife says it's hers and that I can't mess it up
