By the way these are 10,000 RPM engines.
in an earlier post you mentioned that this hull is a four pointer using the lower units as the aft two points. I am assuming that back in the day power lift wasn't available. That really must give this design a whole new dimension. I have to imagine with all the pedals and levers you got going on in there all you need in a pair of cymbals strapped between your knees and youd look an awful lot like a one man band while underway :D

I thought about volunteering for that vict . . .er passanger seat but on second thought . . . . have fun and as i'm sure your already aware . . be careful. shes a beut :cool:

You don't trim a wing out...ever!!!

Remember it's a 4 point hydro....not a cat.

Congrats! Wing looks awesome. Too bad about the breakage...sure you'll get it sorted asap. Can't wait to see it soon.

But, when you gonna start building a scaled up version - something in the 35-40 foot range????
