The 38 in Chicago came apart just in front of the transom and sank on a poker run, towed to the shipyard up the Chicago river. I took pictures of it up close and inside for Jim Jones at the factory. I moved two times I will look for the pictures ?
We had one with 575 sc that ran on radar 102, It was great on Lake Michigan. That said I like the boat design but the production of them was not equal !!! So as far as blow out or delamination it is all up to who does the lamination scedule !!! Also I think Dan still has the molds pm me and I will try to call him. |
What about these Awesome/Image 38's? Have wondered for sometime what the deal was with those hulls.

I think it was the owner of Vicious that told me this a few years ago. |
[QUOTE=Tampa38;2713065]I heard the transom blowouts were caused by a design flaw, as in Awesome stretched a smaller cat but didn't make compensating changes to transom.

No, it was when I lived in Michigan, we launched at the end of I think 21 mile rd, few years back. Whatever road your shop is on, at the end. Been a while since I've been around there. I think it was #1 Vicious. Now I am in the middle of opening a shop in South Carolina. |
