    I should add, the guys are confident that w/that motor they are confident they can break Jon's record without juice!

    Would also add, I was friends with Jon Wright and he would be nothing but happy about them resetting his record.
    Some may not know, I sold Jon a bunch of OMC pts yrs back for him to re-set his own record w/an OMC. I have to believe Jon is up there smiling down on Montys creativity as thats also what set him apart from the rest.

    Gordon is very good at describing exactly what he wants. This mid will adjust : up + down, trim and gear case alignment to keep the boat from crab walking on the prop. The rudder will take care of steering.
    He told me that a stock Formula 1 weigh's 60 lbs. If I could build one that came in at 40 lbs, it would be worth doing. This one weighed 12 lbs. without the side adjusters. He told me with paint, bars and hardware, we came in at 13 lbs total. The cow bell tuner that my son built ( Gordon's specs ) adds maybe another 2 lbs. So at 15 lbs, I'm happy to say we came in at less than half of what was expected..



    My boat .. LOL
    I'll get some pics after I get back from my mother in laws ...

    The team has asked that I post a couple more.

    Seems that w/some of the crap being spewed, they thought it important I show they are prepared and deadly serious.

    Just in case they need more than one bullet. (I was intentionally saving these)

    Any questions

    Let this one sink in a bit fellas.

    Just because one team chooses not to post everything they're doing, does not mean they're not doing

    Charley, had no idea the son did the exhaust dump. AMAZING!
