A full racing suit for an electric boat seems a bit silly to me. How fast do they expect that boat to go? The motors look like they have tiny plastic propellers.

The pic with Shaun in his race suit if from an F1 race, hence the boat visible that he is on. Noli just photo shopped that pic over the Hellcats 32 image.

I got an unexpected call from Rey at Hellkats powerboats. the guy ahead of me in the build list has backed out. they will starting my 32 wide body with 300R motors tomorrow. i went to the factory last April and was impressed with the work there. so here we go. the dream of such a boat begins. will keep you posted on progress. all the molds should take about six weeks.

Someone needs to build one with an enclosed cockpit and start racing. Would love to see how it could compete.
