| Nice stainless steel "double-shark fin" turn fin. Notice I eliminated a molded skeg resulting in a very flat hull bottom. This boat is painted with Krylon Fusion paint. | Instead of a skeg, the stern tube is thick brass that is strong enough to resist impact damage. Oilite® sleeve bearings support a stainless 1/8" shaft. | The bow has a laser-cut 3/32" thick motor mount that will not flex in rough seas. A 1/8" plywood motor mount base will be used in the final model instead of this PVC sheet one shown. |

| The stern is flat, allowing you to locate your battery and hardware anywhere you wish. The transom is reinforced with 1/8" PVC sheet. The floor also reinforces the lower hull giving great strength yet remaining lightweight. | I didn't get the paint finished in time for the Chattanooga Invitational. Had to remove the red decals as they were not compatible with the hatch tape I used. | This is Casey's kit. Note the smooth deck. I didn't have the helmet molds completed until the day before the Chattanooga Invitational. As a result, many of the prototypes have missing heads. |

| Doug built the "Moov Over". He is hoping Chick Filet will sponsor him... Most of the prototypes were built with water-cooling. | Chris built this one. Note the spark plug wires. The kit comes with a choice of 7 different air cleaners for the motor. | Mike made the Curb Side. He added header pipes to the motor. |

| Here are a few passes to show how little of the boat actually stays in contact with the water. | We are still working on the best trim tab for the hull. | I won the oval course without trim tabs. However, I was upside down on the M course. |
