Did you alter the engines at all in it? So are you saying that lucky strike rolled?
im not saying that any of the F2's rolled, but if you state that 3 of the 4 did, i just know ours did not!

For us mere mortals those boats have a very slight margin of error andthe penalty for stepping over the line is harsh. Enjoy!!

I raced a 2002 a 90 mph 38 TS in 2002 the entire APBA Pro Series. We never spun or rolled. We raced hard too. You have to know the limits of the boat. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

A gentleman in the Houston area bought it a couple of years ago. I was in contact with him about buying it at one time, but he decided not to sell. Don't know if its still on clear lake or not.
