Thank you Peanut, the boys at Porta fiberglass do good work. I can't speak for Bobby but I won't be making the trip to the Venture Cup, I'll be too busy building 21 Scouts...

Might be a silly question but what happens to the points standings since the Lake Hopatcong Grand Prix race was cancelled?
Is there a make up race at the end of the season? Just curious about the sport.

Phill,
Every boat that showed up is awarded 50 points. Unfortunately, there is no "make-up" race. By the way, six Class 7 (SOB) boats showed up, we may have 9-10 for Atlantic City next month. Would love to see a Defender in the fleet!

Bob, thanks for info. 50 points sounds very fair and still keeps the playing field competitive. 9-10 Class 7 boats would be a very good showing. Can't wait to see the race on the OPA channel. I would love to see a Defender 21 in the fleet too. With a dedicated race team and a little luck the 21 would be a fierce competitor and might go all the way.... Wish I can race
in the circuit myself but can't at this time.
Phil

Just want to keep the fans updated....

Looks great !!!!! What size motor?

I'm running a 200 Opti. I could have gone with a 250hp but for a "DEMO" boat, it will be a fun ride...

When my kids get a little older and want to race in class 7 I'm all in !!!!! Keep the pics coming. Interior pics?

Sounds like a plan Typhoon, I plan on keeping the molds for a long time...
Interior is in the works, looking for someone affordable and as detailed as I am.

Been off OSO for a while but I'm getting back in it again. Been busy working stateside for a change instead of dodging rocket and mortar attacks.
Here's where my boat stands and next week the actual engine and wire rigging begins.
