With the talk shifting to hydro's ...;) maybe it's time to show the second rendition of the "Twisted" boat .. Not a typical hydro in a traditional sense , but more of a clean slate hydro.
The newly shaped sponsons will go a long way in providing aero / hydro directional stability ... and being "side vented" will keep it from becoming yet
another youtube hydro blowover ... the number of videos that are out there are quite alarming ... I'm glad to see Rick and Dan kept driver safety at the forefront when designing this hull ...

No more bolt on rear canards . The stern of this hull will provide the flotation necessary to support either a RGR / Monty V-8 hanging off of the back , as well as a fuel hemi inside.

The concern's of backwash will also be a thing of the past ... one less thing for the wheel man to think about ...

A "breakaway" capsule will be safer as well as being a little more aero than the last one ..

Can I get one with an open cockpit, low windshield, and 1+1 seating? I could put a 115hp tower-of-power on it and still have the coolest boat around! :D
