Looks like someone added a foot and more negative trim to that boat.

The HIN plate you have there it appears to be a home made State of NJ issued . They must have lost the title and went to the state for a new title and assigned HIN.

What is the overall length? If it is 14ft not 13ft there was a guy named Vanray who owned it. He did the work himself Larry told him not to do it.

Boat it about 13'-8" depends on where you measure from on the slanted transom. Do you know where or who this guy is? How I can each him to get some info as to why?

Thanks Anthony

I suspect it might be Vanray's old boat as well...

That guy had all sorts of ideas for a boat....

Correct.

IMHO, I think he was part of the reason the mini boat races we used to run fell apart. He wanted to run a MODIFIED Mini Class . He wanted to be able to run 1/2 V6 Mercs on the boats. Yeah, a V6 running on 3 cyls. That was the type of thoughts he had going through his head. We barely had enough boats at the time to keep the races going and then he wanted to divide the classes up even more. Sound familiar ? Offshore as we know it....

He may have even dropped the tunnel on that boat Anthony for more compression ?

He was talking back then (late 1980's) about an anti blow over wing design.

Funny now that I think about it, that is what was put on the Phenomenon :

So, I will give him credit there on the wing. They also run them on the hydros...
