Yep, factory 2 racing. My buddy Gene Weeks was in the boat with him.

He has a 5-6 photo collage in sequence of that crash on his garage/barn wall. He keeps it around to "remind" himself to stay out of fast boats!

Easy one ,you build with materials that resist failure.

Thanks for the answers. Some good stuff to know.

If I might ask two questions?

If I build a 40 foot boat how much more would s-glass cost over e-glass?

And second: would most builders know how to use it? Meaning could I offer to pay an up charge and it would be an easy substitute? would not want to experiment.

When my portfolio (if) comes back I will be in the market again and this is a question I never knew until this thread.

Skater Outerlimits and MTI are ones who have a lot of experience with materials like carbon epoxy and e/s glass.
