Ron....I just came back from the IBEX show in Miami.
I spoke to a marine supplier who had just finished fabricating a very special piece of equipment, for a new boat that is being readied for an attempt.

It is a real team with LOTS of experience.
I even raced against them way back in the day........so it has a good chance of happening, plus they have a certain motivation that is carrying them through the sticking points. That will help them to see this thing through.

Wicks and MacKnight have not made their runs yet. The most recent articles I found were from 2004 and 2003. Mr. Warby says that Wicks's three-point hydro design is not stable enough to run much over 200mph.
