Thats F1 Catamaran Technology, not OPC.I call this innovation...http://youtu.be/4buTnduRJXc
Jamey,I would like to know the reason behind the proposed 90 degree transom , last time I checked the STV , Mirage & quartershot tunnel boats DO NOT HAVE 90 degree transoms from the sponsons
What are we considering the "transom"??? If I'm not mistaken (haven't taken it out to look in awhile), my Warhead has a recessed transom, and the tunnel angles out aft of the motor-mounting "transom" to meet the sponson "transom"..., with no tunnel extending aft of the transom.

As for only allowing "production" lower units?? That's just silly... OPC is "rare" enough now... it's not like K&B or O.S. Max are pumping these variations out... Is "Lawless" (my preference) considered "production"??? Are you going to tell Kris Flynn that he can't run his custom made carbon fiber unit??
I can understand wanting the "outboard" attached only to the aft of the transom. Not sure a complete re-writing of the rules is necessary to achieve that. Let's not get too crazy with specific definitions. Every time NAMBA or IMPBA does that, it eliminates a bunch of already existing, and perfectly legal, hulls. Usually for some silly reason.
R/C boat racing is a pretty limited part of this hobby, overall. There just aren't that many of us, and even fewer race OPC. I'd be careful how strictly you try to define this. Can't afford to thin out the ranks much more.
Mic,If it attaches to the rear of the boat and pivots as one complete steering unit it probably is an outboard. The turntable could be attached to a 90 degree angle and bolt to a "conventional" transom and have vertical adjustment. Transom insets have been around since the "Tom Cat". Mic
