Had a clear and uninterrupted day—— was out in the shop by 7:30 am and cooking with gas!
Glued up a couple of chunks of Beechwood using epoxy——- by noon I had the basic KT shape—- could be MANDELLA or SCHIADA——- But it’s about Right.
By five o’clock I had a V8 block—- cylinder heads—— and ambition?——-it’s going to be one of those big blown bastard motors ——- you know the one—— noisy as hell—— Sh-t off’n a Teflon coated shovel!
!See how I fare tomorrow——- not going anywhere, should make big inroads !

...I saw you out on the water testing it today too...I know I promised you I would never show everyone before it was finished, but your secret is good with me Jackie...

bottoms the same, or not? if not, what was changed?

[AZMIDLYF]

From my understanding of it, just the canopy has been added....and the 300Rs of course. Maybe Jackie has more info.

They will also be fitted with suspension seats...

Wish I could tell you more Crisis——- Craig did send me that self same video of the P1 test taken from Marks boat.
Boats are running 80 + mph.
All the hulls were replaced last year——- all the decks are being replaced this year.
Craig told me the only way to drive the boat was to “Wring it’s neck— but gently”—- some very big names in boat racing have difficulty driving the boat well !

Bottom was sorted before they were replaced last year—— new mould was replaced at that time.
Hope this helps Fuji.
You got any old phoggies of the SK class inboard raceboats——- Hawians—- Mandellas and the like—- I’ve got a picture in my mind, but I’d like to be sure.

Everyone’s gone to the moon—— I only ask for a bit of help occasionally—— guess I’ll stick to doing what I do —— but thank you to the folk who did take time out to help!
