In reference to the 50 Skater, back on 11/15/2008 I called out to Bruce Bullock and Peter Hledin in regards to the 50. I was told (and I think they would be the guys to know) that the 50 was a stretched 46, not with 4 feet of bustle, but with "a longer running surface" (his exact words).
It was initially being offered by 200MPH Marine LLC, a venture between Bruce Bullock and John Tomlinson.

Just watching paint dry now!!!
changes have been made to both structure and the actual running surface design.
tomorrow we will finally have the boat level so the exhausts can come out of it and i can do the hot end inspections...even after the very short run we did in st.clair!... just like arruda was charging jeff for! lol
we are cutting it close for MI city....but we shall see

Sorry, i had to ..even if this is not my fight but i am sick and tired of getting f***ed in this industrie and nobody does anything about it.
I know its not since yesterday but talking things sweet does not help the fact at all.
Good luck to JBS

"Saying AFTER the fact, that the boat should have been brought in at the first sign of trouble, sounds more like a cop out for lack of a better term, to put the responsibility on Jeff & Joe's shoulders, instead of the manufacturer's shoulders for making a mistake with their method of laminating? "
=....how do ya like my thread!....
we would have never finished one race if we needed to stop first sign of "cosmetic" damage! good thing we have brian on our team that is the head painter of a massive body and paint facility, or we would never have even started a race! brian also spent months at mystic.

Who was on the Radio Saying it was only cosmetic? as I recall an old thread it was the JBS support Team, Was John C on the Radio saying to keep going? Pretty Big Factor!!!!

Obviously Skater knows much better than I, but I am surprised at how small the bonding surface for the repair scarf joint is. 3 inches of glue is all that is keeping a 3 foot section of bottom from blowing off.
Is that really enough at 200mph? I don't know so if anyone can explain it I would appreciate it.
