Well I've made it through 15 pages so far so I think I'll take a break. KNOT-RIGHT you are a funny guy I've really enjoyed reading about cunyangas LOL.

Here's a turbine boat that hauls azz. Not as big as your skater but still a fast sum*****;

So Is all Carbon better?

I've heard that carbon can splinter with a hard hit such as a big wave so builders combine it with, say, Kevlar.

Harding says the boat runs 135+. I understand it's the fastest boat in the Unlimited Class. He had to put ballast in the rear to compensate for the lightweight turbine.
