I stuck in "Rinker Racing" and saw some Frontal pics but it was hard to make out

due to the yellow color,,I guess. That style sure does "twang" ya in the right spot

That last pic is a beaut, Gener!

What did you pick up on? I noticed a few things..........

 

[Slideblues]

Extreme lower profile, crowned sponson tops, triangle shaped frontal on cowl.....

The 04 design on the right Blackhawk 11 "Shorty" is a joint venture of Lamb/Caniff, But the red hull I am looking for was just Todd Lambs hull, Its kinda a combination of the two with crowned sponson tops but more upright on the cowl,

Notice the crowned sponson tops flatten out toward the rear, and the curved surface as the deck meets the "Cowl" - that is something Rod G talked about once before........

 

[Slideblues]

Yea kinda like a LeeCraft XTR 21,

This website has pictures that are copyrighted so I did not want to copy and post but it has pictures of many colored boats. It has a great orange one that would look nice on a TS2, and over head shots of Rinker and others.

Since Andrew is leaning heavy on my powerhead,

Opened up the transom and gonna add a little beef there to:

Pics moved to gallery......

 

[Jerry Dunlap]

By installing 6-32 blind nuts to the inside of the transom, you definitely eliminate the "issues" some have experienced with the 6-32 brass inserts.
