    Randy, How'd that rudder work? I've got the same rudder on my KBB45 and it was way more rudder than that boat needed. I ended up cutting it down in both length and cord.

      Ya know I was real happy with it. The boat was easy to steer at slow speeds. I will get to open her up tomorrow at the race setup. I thin it will fly, I will try to get a video too. The boat launched out of the hole, My stetup was good.

            Anymore pics or video of it running? How would you rate the hull?

              It ran good enough the owner wants me to paint the boat to match his 38/39foot Talon cat. It blew over on the first lap. lots of power, too much lift.

                  Why can't we get drives like that Randy. She'll look sweet painted up like that.

                            Not to get off topic in this thread but if it looks anything like a scale one, you got a winner in the works!

                              The difference is before the accident and after the repair. fresh air holes. Rick does not race after the last accident. He retired. The Blown Big Blocks are brand new and under warranty. Story below.
