Thank you for sharing . Thats a very pretty boat .Where is it today ?

Correct I also forgot to mention the new Bandit boat in Miami.
I agree I think we will see more and more of the new technology out there, and the older boats will slow disappear. The the newest technology will raise the bar, speed and handling wise.

Many classes have come and gone because of a few New boats being introduced and running away without being in paridy with the rest of the class. While new boats and teams are a great addition I think there can be a way to keep the old boats up and running with them withour forcing them into a "retired" class?

Unfortunately tIme doesn't stop and technology moves on and that hold true in all sports. The technology also reflects in safety also, it truly believe there are boats racing today that shouldn't be. With better technology come more efficiency and with that comes greater speeds so safety becomes paramount.

Go Fast I'll use an apples to apples example. when you acquired your boat, it did not have a motor or drive.. the very same motor and drive that were utilized in your boat were then installed into the white fountain. With me being in both boats, the fountain ran ballpark 7 mph faster than your boat with the very same prop as well. What do you propose as far as parity? That question being asked, its probably best that you call me or private message me as I dont want to detract from this thread and the point of it showcasing the build of eddie's new boat

I like the better safety , Looking forward to watchimg the build and testing. Trent is correct this is about the build

Eddie & Onboardcam,

You are going with the SCX drive what is A very good drive from what I Heard. But that drive will most likely cost some more hp than the Bravo?

Why I ask is that I have pretty much the same plans for the 28CPR cockpit boat we now have in build. Setup for 1000hp for Shootouts/Poker Runs and then A 430hp setup for our national race class. I have had the SCX-drive as my first choice - but with the "race" ( ) motor it will be Little tough with hp loss.... Of course I can use A Bravo drive for the racing but will be some more work with the motor swap then.

I THOUGHT Randy/Typhoon was still running that boat a couple of years ago, but I could be wrong. He will probably chime in and let us know for sure.

Yes the scx upper does take a lil more power to turn . The scx lower does not work well so we use sc lower . But with hi HP you will go thru lower gear sets 30 to 50 hrs depends on how hard you run boat
