JIm, glad to see your feeling good. And I have to say, that is one of the best videos I have ever seen of a Y2K. I love the way the camera is mounted high. Much better view.
Cancer is a tough one. Had Lymphatic cancer myself when I was a kid. Started when I was 9, and came back when I was 16. I haven't had a problem since. And I'm pushing 50 now. Keep the faith.

Hey Ric,
I will come visit you, I hope to do some glass work this winter and ill talk to jc about some prices, and im still thinking (dreaming)of a arneson. I know many have doubts but I think it could be the ticket to going triple digits without HUGE horsepower.
I hav tons of great video I will post more when i get around to it
That angle was possible by strapping my son to the bow

Velcro body suit borrowed from my friend David Letterman
Actually I have several cams mounted onboard. I design and build hi resoulotion video equipment for harsh industrial and government installations. I do some traffic cams on State highways as well as on lighthouses and commercial shipping( just installed an amazing system on a water tower in South Hampton can see to the connectiut river and zoom to see liscense plates on montauk highway). I have done a few installations on pleasure boats as well as a few racers and poker runners. I am trying to market a small system designed for boaters with an onboard DVR that has no moving parts stores to compact flash memory.
As for my glass work I want to eliminate canvas snaps that go around the cockpit ( alot of small holes to be filled) and new rubrail and then not sure to Paint or re-shoot gel ? Whats your opinion?

thanks for thinking of me mike! ill probably be out monday if your around id love to see the boat!
Hi Gary, I have had several motors in this hull, a fuel injected hp500 with a procharger supposedly 700 hp i think more like 600 ran mid 80s, an MRD 509 with small blower 90mph on a perfect day, bandit racing (Kurts Marine) 515ci and the current set up is from Wazzup racing(Smitty and son) 515ci blowershop 250 dynoed at around 740hp but i lowered the boost from 6psi to 4psi and changed carb from 1150 dominator to 1050.I always had XR drive but tried several lower , imco standard, shorty sportmaster, I am currently running XR with standard merc lower, p5xhydro and can run 87 88 with 5 adults and a full cooler. And yes i have become very good at rebuilding XRs I have eaten several racing, but as pleasure craft If your gentle they can survive but imo over 600hp they just arent reliable
Your turn! what ya got? prop, drive, hp? whats your mph?
you too mike where you at? prop selection must be a bi..h

Come on Zup you've got those new deflectors.
I checked in over on Scream & Fly and others have been asking about the CT River Run too, but no official word from Rich Owen as of yet.
My best guess is that it will be on October 18th...
