    Who says you can't power a BIG hull?

    Guess anything is possible when you have the dough.
    These guys know how to play.

        They look very realistic though.

          Properchopper :

          I think most of these large HPR 233 cats-owners are just gentle on the throttle/steering when cornering, because of the value of their boats. They are all sportboaters who like to corner "on scale"

                    An old gas vid but a goody, always like watching it.

                    And Gerwin, that "WAS" the sickest FE boat ever. RIP

                    As for thrashing big, expensive cats, i have zero problems

                    I will however be gentle with my turbines.

                        It does not matter, the same rules apply.
                        "No boats running when the retrival boat is on the water."

                          On a friendly, non-competitive weekend ?
                          This was no race for points. but a "show-race" .
                          If you don't like your boat beeing in the water while the retrieval boat is there, just don't put your boat in the water :-)

                            On practise days down at the club, we go out in retrival boat to collect boats.
                            Race day = You have to wait until racing over.

                            Must admit id be a lil scared going out in a retrival boat when 2.33 missiles are flying by me haha. Guess they all have a good understanding of each other?

                              How would you go about explaining an accident to the insurance when the rules say NO RUNNING BOATS when the retrival boat is out???
