Seems in some cases it would do more harm

Helmets have styrofoam in them therefore they float. They actually work opposite of your theory.

The material in them that does soak up water isn't enough to offset the bouyancy of the styrofoam.

Nowthat looks FUN! Is this an annual event?
As for the helmet/safety equipment discussion, there should be no debate the value of a good helmet and good vest in any organized event that involves these speeds &/or close competition. They may seem like a PITA when everything is going good, un till you get pitched, or you take a hard hit.
TRUST ME that discomfort is something you can live with, literally!

Thanks Pat, always feel safe in your boat! Some day I'll have you build me a 29 avh with twin verados. That would look great at the end of my dock.

Speaking of A.T.pictures, how come we haven't had any pics of that new blue 37 that has shown up in the back ground of a few other shop shots lately?

The one you are refering to is the old F2 race boat that is undergoing a refit back to a pleasure boat. It's got VI drives on it. :eek: :D

Now, the other blue one...

Stay tuned!! :D
