His riding crew in the Shadow were Carlos and "El Ronco" (The Rhino)..... two massive gentlemen who ....er..."accompanied" Willie wherever he went....including races. They lost weight in every race, and had eyes the size of half dollars after every event due to Willie's antics in the boat..... They were the only crew in offshore that included Glocks in their race emergency kit.

Those were the days.......Willie was..and is..amazing.

T2x, Why do the occupants sit, seemingly, so high relative to the overall height of the sponsons and deck? It seems that in some of the other boats I've seen that you built, the crew sat deeper. What is the advantage/disadvantage to the design above? Was it less safe to be that high off the water? Did it affect the cg?

Actually, it's an optical allusion.... due to the lense and camera angle..... That boat had a LOT of deck...and the occupants were seated normally...but the camera has skewed it.

Is the seat height about the same as Brownie's Cougar? The cockpit looks similar in design to my Cougar, is it?
