Hey Steve, thanks for the awesome thread! Back in the day we rigged two 32 Cobra raceboats, and 25 years later its still my dads favorite vee bottom design to date. Awesome boats, and you have without a doubt built some of the most impressive vee bottoms in the world. Thanks for the thread!

Yes, great thread. I already liked Powerplays but reading this gives a true appreciation for their quality, and what had to go in at every stage.

Yes and no. It's a play on words (getting in shape for summer). I grew up on the east end.

That's cool. Plum Gut was a pucker test for us "wimpy baymen" types back in the day.

I'm glad to hear Claudios is still in GP. What about Port of Egypt (**** company)? Or the old blacksmith shop?

The staggered race boats like yours most likely across the dashboard on a stock IO 33 behind the front bolster.
