Question T2x's Wing ???

WOW !!!!

Is this it Rich ?

That thing looks great!

Looks to have some serious power on there as well!

A far cry from the inline sixes.....

Awesome!

Thank's Sharkey. I've been waiting to see how the boat would turn out. I hope Rich [or you] will post some more photos of the project.

Here's a before shot.......

Considering the power that is now on it and the stickers on the side.....seems to be a dead giveaway to me! Looks AWESOME Rich!

that thing really is bizarre looking, but cool as hell, when was that built? 50's or 60's?

Random answers:

That is DarrenUS1's wing, I'm simply the "sponsor"

2 x 350+ hp @ 10,000 RPM

We are aiming for the Clayton, NY Antique Race boat regatta (2 years late) in August 06

The original Wings ran 110-120 in the 60's with less than half the power we have.......and two bladed propellers

We'll be running a pair of Formula one, 4 blade cleavers on SSM 4's.......

Top speed on paper is too ridiculous to post.

Here's a shot of one passing a big block equipped, flatbottom back in the day

That's about it.......

That is very cool. I can't imagine what it will sound like coming on plane, much less at speed, whatever that may be! WOW!!
