The Switch boat is an Extreme and is rigged and throttled by Rick Turmel. The boat is incredible.

Didn't someone say that he is running the engines in-line with some kind of coupler this year? I read that somewhere I think.

The motors are in line and go thru a Weissman splitter type box. I asked if I see it a Orange beach last year and they were ass's about it . It came out in Power Boat the next month. Fountain had already had and ran it that way . I could of looked it up on Weissman's web site anyway Oh well

Josh Nice picks

Nigels boat is still the same boat that was built back in 96. (SCARAB) It just got a face lift. It needed it. The inline system has been running for 3 years now in that boat. We also did the fountain boat as well as the Ettore/Gentry that is now running in SBI.
I am supprised that they were not friendly, they probably were having a bad day.
I am suprised that they made the race, it was a thrash to get it done in time. The first time it was in the water was friday. He was very happy with 3rd. It will be real strong in St. Pete.
