Thanks for your opinions,the hull is divided in to three sections not coommunicating with each other, for this in case of collision and breakup the hull does not sink....is long 71cm ang large 30 cm weighs 1 kilogram

At least a lot of room under the cowl.......

Interesting to see a carexhaust on the outboard....

Looking forward to see the video
 
Felix,

I waters allows you to join in but you must put your full name in your signature line. (now that you are reading this go ahead and update that for us please)



Also. I think if you ask most of us tunnel boat races you will see we have all tried different car pipes. I have had "Some" luck but you are much better off with a boat pipe.. Silver Bullet is a great pipe and well worth the money. Contact Mark Hopper on here to get one.

Daniele,

It looks like your CG may be off a little, that is why it may be hopping in the straights, other than that looks really promising.
