Re: What say we force Charlie out of retirement and get him to build again
Sure heatbuzz, but who would actually line up to buy them...look at the poor guy that is trying to start a race series for 24 foot boats.
I always felt that the guys running the smaller boats in the ocean were the best, it takes a lot more to keep the throttles open when you are in the air all the time.
If there was a real market, it might be something to consider, my son is already pushing for me to rethink this.

The Banana Plan 
1. Kidnap Charlie Sr and Jr.
2. Lock them in a climate controlled room (70 degrees) with the molds, 10 buckets of resin and a giant roll of fiberglass
3. They only get food and water, when we get Banana boats...

Air Dog, The best I had it was 78 and change, I detuned it and added lead in the bow as well as some prop work and its down around 70 to be race legal. 502 w/ upgraded heads and cam

Re: What say we force Charlie out of retirement and get him to build again
it looks like you were air dropped from a C-140...
There is a 24 Carrera in P5 as well up in OPA and a 25 Sunsation (same hull)
This little boat is awesome, I got 1st overal at the Deerfield National Championships beating a 26 Scarab, 32 Tempest, and 28 Pantera
and it was rough also
I haven't thought of an outboard, I like big blocks
