To my knowledge, nobody ever barrel rolled a GlasMoli either. Gliding wide turns was the formula for track time. "Planting the boat" in a tight turn scrubbed off way too much speed. It would take 30% of the track to recover.Quote:

GlasMolis were like your parent's Chevy station wagon for the most part. Put it in "D" and sit back and cruise..............Joe Fielder said they made a couple of ultra light weight hulls. Glastron could have made a modest weight improvement by taking some of the layup weight out of that aft cowling. It weighed a ton and was way overbuilt. I'm surprised they didn't update the cowling and provide them to their clients? GlasMoli was one raceboat program that catered to both OMC and Merc customers.Quote:
