Re: My winter project
 

Doc,
I plan on doing the Jax PR this year if my schedule work out.I have been out of the cockpit since august with a torn rotator cuff,which needed surgery.I go back to work on the 18th,but will be in class for 3 months as I am upgrading to Captain on the MD11.Stacy says hello to you and Tommy and hope to see you this year.

It is a 1990 and I was seeing the low 90's with light loads on a good day.This off season I have put on some jackplates and now the tunnel Tab.I put the tab on because I was getting the Linder(george Linder,the designer)hop in the mid 70 were I cruise most of the time.I talked to George and he said it would cure it.I cant wait to see what the speed will be next season I am expecting a couple of miles an hour.I am also running Bravo Props which is a great all around prop but could probably get more speed with some 3 Blade Cleavers.

Fishhead, I bought the molds to Aero / Predator boat company some years back and one of the pieces of tooling was a modified shadow,except the chines are a little wider it has been streched at the transom with a notch and 5" more free board at the transom. The first one I built was in 1998, I rigged it with 300 Pro max's / 1:62 gears/ 32 x 15.25 3 blade clevers the boat weighed 4119 lbs dry the boat ran 109 to 111 pretty consistantly. We are going to cut a new hull down the center of the tunnel and widen it 12" and put a 1.6" spray rail / body line in the freeboard side to give it some new look. I have not decided which way to go with the deck yet, but I am going to do a one off deck with a canopy for next years race season. Check out my website you can see how we build the hull now, No more hand laid glass everything is vacuum infused its a great process.

Talk to ya later.

Re: My winter project
 

Gary, Mark, Last season I raced with Bobby from C&N marine/ repossesions in his boat. I don't know what is going on with him for next season for sure as of yet!
But I know for sure I will have two cats running on the OPA circut next season from my shop, plus Gary Cooks 28' Vee I am building him right now for class #5, So I guess for now it is all open for discussion. :rolleyes:

Re: My winter project
 

Mounted on the Shadow.The only thing left to do is figure out the best sytem for the indicator and actuator,any ideas?

Re: My winter project
 

Mark, Here is one we manufacture in house we do them in single, twin, triple,quad and five rod applications.
Otherwise stainless marine I think has the best one on the market, If you need something let me know I will see what kind of deal I can get you on it.
