My Naumacos Racing Rib
 

Hi guys, attahed a couple of pics of my new racing project, it's a Rib and it's 26 long.
It's now equipped with a 7.4 (around 450 hp) and standard bravo 1 leg and it reached 81.5 mph on lake with and it's very fun to ride and stable.
NExt season a short lopwer unit will be put on as well as a 550 or more hp engine (based on a 502) hope to reach the 90's.

Hi Guys thanks a lot!
The funnny thing is that I have been converted myself !!
I used to hate Ribs and when I was asked to design one I wasn't so enthusiast.
Now that it's done I'm so happy that It's hard to go back !
I admire Buzzi's work,I'm 31 and I had an opportunity to visit him at his yard, he has a big brain,of course my rib wouldn't have come to life if it wasn't for his example, this sayed I kept it personal, I?m not a fan of steps and the hull design has more to do with some boats from the 70's than with today multistepped hulls.
