Not yet, but we finally received the tuners for the motors.....and we have come up with a way to activate the aeleron as well...... We are hopefult of getting her wet before the weather gets too cold...and have her available for next year's vintage "inshore" events.
Charlie won't let me include it in the vintage "offshore" events however........

The fact that Billy Sirois, Odell Lewis, Johnny Bakos, and a bunch of others drove wings back in the day doesn't seem to count......... even though it will draw a bigger crowd than some other more "acceptable" hulls.......
Truth is back in the late 50's and early 60's (when I started) you had OPC and offshore boats in the same events....... when basically Powercats and then Glastrons were prevalent.
Like it or not this(See Bakos below) was the face of point to point marathons (some offshore, some on the Great Lakes, and some on rivers, bays, etc) back then.
