...Yet, they are both swing'n the same prop. Ha!

Yes both Merc chopper props. The Skyscraper using a 22 pitch and the big Johnson a 28 pitch..

I hope it wasn't damaged in the fire. All those workers subjected to that smoke.

Well..there is NO fire..its steam to make the new boat more interesting at a dealer meeting in Sweden yesterday.

the real story, was that that class, at the time, had a max cubic inch limitation, that racers were attempting to max-out, any way they could, to get around the course.

Yes, correct and the old skyscraper needed some help from the big powerful 2.4 liter V6 Johnson. as I wrote from the beginning.

They had a problem on the course though. The boat was always turning to starboard(right). They later cured the problem by swapping engines! LOL

To discuss boat design is like discuss what type/brand of oil to use. Never end good.
I leave it like that.
