      Who knows. It looks cool and since nobody can tell me what a transome is. haha

      I just hate that boxy rear end on the whips.

            I'm floored ! Probably one of the most creative designs I've seen. The hardware is totally wild. So Terry, since it has the MMEU logo, you must have more info on it. Spill the beans...!

                We will Sean. We have to. I was really dissapointed when I totalled the Tide boat. Then making land fall with the bandaged carcus was a bummer.

                That is the new Q. Although I might throw 8s in there for a few passes one day. I have 3 different setups for it.

                It's just a Whiplash. Mostly. With modified......... well everything. haha It's whippy framing.

                The new one is built much better than the Tide was. Fred will have to hit this one with his car to break it. This build is heavy for the right reasons. West systems all around. Carbon/Kevlar canopy. The right sponson trans is backed with aluminum and tapped instead of brass inserts or blind nuts. Even reinforced the tub with aluminum plating where the turn fin is rodded in. No flex from this fin. That's pretty much what killed the Tide boat. Weight to fin strength ratio sucked.

                I didn't put the wing on it but I may still have to. I'm concerned that without that box style center section I may be creating a lot of lift. With the wing I can control the air flow a little. Cost some drag though. Worked on the last one.

                Hasn't been wet yet. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

                  Terry, I thought it was a Whip 40, I could tell by how long the sponson vents are.

                  love the hardware very cool indeed.

                  I had better get busy on my Q, your's looks like it will pass mine just sitting there!

                        Great design change, that hydroplane looks like it is going 100 miles an hour while it is sitting on dry land....

                              Yes guys you have to see this one up close to appreciate the craftsmanship. Terry did a great job now you need to finish the scale!

                              Good luck this season Terry, i'm hoping give you some better competition with my custom AC-V1.
