Hey guys, Have pics of boat out of mold and widened. Having trouble posting them on thread. Keeps putting in link instead of pulling over the pic itself. Im working on it. Steve.

That's a beauty!

Congratulations!! Looks big for a 30. Gonna be bad ash for sure.

I'd like to suggest two things:
* open a Photobucket account so we can see the pics in larger than life size
* open a thread in S&F, the outboard guys would luv to also hear about your build.

I'm no engineer but if there is no reel benefits from lift/compression until 120... when do they actually start to create lift/compression??? right after the hop right...so that little bit is not a real plus until 120? hard to believe but I have some slow week brain cells...been thinning them out using the cliff from friends alcohol treatment theory

and skate30...you are pizzing all over our dreams of having 400+hp light weight two strokes for our skaters

Skate 30 is just being realistic about he 400's. But we can dream and maybe some day. Something has gotta give. He's been a wealth of knowledge to me. We will have to wait til april sometime to see what actually happens for starters. Then the maybe some fine tuning. Steve.
