I'm looking for any cool pics of boats racing, mainly V/mono-hulls, that anybody has. It doesn't matter what size or type of boat they are, as long as they are monohulls but not offshore boats.
We are promoting our powerboat club at a boatshow here this weekend and we have lots of pics of tunnels, but not many pics of V-hulls/ runabout which is a new class we are trying to start up.
So if anybody has some good shots of these type boats in action I would realy appreciate if you could post them up or you can email them to me if they are too big, alanp@iol.ie
Some old mod-vp pics maybe? Formula V? Would love pics of multiple boats on a race course with buoys etc. Pics of get togethers or river runs would be great also.

Thanks so much for any pics, the more the better

Also, these pics will be desplayed publically so if you post or send them I presume you dont mind, thanks again,

Alan

Thanks to all that have emailed me pics

Got some nice ones of classic V bottoms and some pics from crecent city drags and a nice lot from PBCC events.

Thank you

Would still love more... the more, the better. We would like to put up some boards behind the boats and have some folders on the desk with pictures and info.
We are trying to revive the S850 and T850 classes and promote the new S2000/F2 boats in the country now and allong with a new class which I have been assigned (because I asked for it

) called clubman class, which should allow almost any boats race together on a handicap system. This should be a great introductory class and a lot of fun, we just need to get the numbers up.

Thanks, Alan

Some pics of the type of class we are aiming at, (pics kindly donated by racers from the UK, Thanks

)

Thanks Rex and Hoser, and to all the others that emailed me some pics. We used most of them, I would have used more but couldn't sit on front of the computer any longer printing high res pics, must take half an hour to print each one

The weekend was a huge success, we were quite busy all day Saturday & Sunday answering questions, talking with people and getting the boats ready for the afternoon demo.
Thankfully the rain held off all weekend, although it was quite windy which we thought would hinder the demo run of the F2 and F4 boats but there was no keeping them out of the water

Hopefully next season should see a strong turnout in all class's.

Thanks again for all the pics, and to return the favour here are some pics of the weekend at the IMF Used Boat Show.

Thanks, Alan

The stand...

Will and his S-850 boat...

The demo run outside the marina... (not too fast as was still quite windy and its a no wake zone

)
