I believe it is less tham full retail but not positive.

Well it's a start that Travis will be racing, Didn't Bacardi run your drivs last year in the OSS on the 46'? Right now Teague is THE tech guy he would be the place to start as fas as making your products OSS legal. The markiting oppurtunity with OSS is a good deal , to market Arneson to pleasure boaters and racers. Send me an email with your email addresee and I'll send you more info.

Is Teague a retailer for Arnesons? Is he a retailer for Mercury?

Teague is definitely a retailer for Mercury.

David Scott ran SBI in 2005' (and previous years) with the 46' Skater and Arneson Surface Drives as there was no unlimited class in OSS previously.

My point is "Throwing $$$ at OSS" is not the solution. First there has to be a door open then the marketing can start. If you are implying that I should throw $$$ to open the door then please state the obvious.

IMCO paid to have their drive units allowed in OSS. How much??? That is their business, but it takes the free enterprise out of it.

Steermanure. Big pile of steermanure. Nobody has ever paid anything for having their drives or any other equipment approved by OSS. Either come up with the proof or withdraw the statement. I've already explained the process of how to get equipment approved. If someone is serious about having their stuff approved, then they should follow that process.

I was looking for the reason for why my Weismann #6 dry-sump drives are not allowed on the new boat. They were ok on the old boat.

I had given you the reason. And the reasons are clearly spelled out in the rules for anyone who's able to read. I will not repeat them again. The Stancombes know the reason also.

We made every single dry-sump drive the same for all of my customers. The parts are interchangible. You can verify that from Coabella or Matt from TNT. We made a casting for the #6 type and the #6a were billet because of the rule changes back in 96 we did not make a casting forit. The pump parts were the same. We produced over 50 units before we were banned in 97. This is a production drive.

In the rules, I see 10 rules made directly at my company.

Where did you give me the reason?

Ryan - you are correct about us using Arnesons on the 46. However, in the OSS Extreme and Superbiat Unlimited classes, we can run any drive that we desire. I also have a new pair of Shifter's drives & gimballs that we could have used but never did. They are for sale cheap now.
