Here's the sweet power plant.

The average speed for the 5 lap final was 140.5 over the 2+ mile closed river course. The Bud lost it's prop before the start of the final and was a DNS.

puder, yes he is in a new boat. I hope it's just a little adjustment in the setup. I know he is expecting to be a lot more competitive this season.


Miss Bud lost a prop? I know it's a drop in the bucket for them, but that has to cost as much as a engine for me.

I read one time that a prop for a hydro was around $20,000.

Damn, my whole team would be out there with scuba gear for $20K. Was Bernie in charge of the prop nut?

Bernie passed away a little while ago.
Awesome that a piston craft won. It has been a long time.
