        Ozzie that boat cost me about $230 as I had most of the parts and the battery is a $79 Zippy battery. I have not blueprinted the hull or done some of the other things that will give me 70 mph. Fastest so far is 68.97 mph. Not bad for a DF 33 clone.

        Just thought you might be interested in a boat that represents the Tasmanian flag and will be called Southern Cross

              Paddy I am glad to see things are coming along with the rigger. I can't wait to hear how it does as it looks like it will really PACK a punch!

                Chuck I can not tell you how happy I am that the boat is finally finished. Randy is testing it soon. He told me that his has been clocked at 98 mph. If that is the case then I need to start going to a bigger lake. The worrying time will be getting it shipped without it being damaged.
                I think my H&M riggers might all be sold soon. Once this boat goes past 80 mph then I think I will cut the fleet to 2 boats, this one and my DF 33. I am amazed at how fast that boat is. I was hoping for a mono that would do 60 and now it has gone way past that and is just a Bee's nu nu of 70 mph. Andy and I are talking about how we will shatter the 70 mph mark with it already.

                    Ozzie, be careful you might just get what you wish for... me and Andy on your door step

                    Seriously if I can get the boat to the 100 mph mark then I am thinking of taking it on a trip at least to Broken Hill (I think it was you that made the comment "why don't they fix it" ).

                    Broken Hill <----> Broke Back Mountain...nah couldn't be. Disclaimer...No one batting for the other team was hurt in the making of that joke
