    Yeah, who was that masked man??
    Definitely my hero now when it comes to Ecos.

    Undoubtedly "The Man"

    He must have every component velcro'ed down with straps to handle those cornering forces..

      It was fast, But it looked like it was out of control. It hooked real bad.

        The ECO's are a riot but nobody in the states runs them. A real shame. The triangular course is easy to set up on a small pond. Our little Mini ECO is a fantastic little boat but nobody buys
        'em. Oh well!

          I bought one and love it! It is a shame there's not more interest, especially with something that self-rights out of the box.

            He actually was extremely controlled Randy. Ecos are supposed to run like that or seemingly hook.

            They have an amazing ability to virtually switch directions as if on rails.

            Here's how they race them nowadays http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgShkE-TojA

              Aw, come on in the last two turns that is a hook, not evan close to the triangle course.

              It looks like a duck, Quacks like a duck, Walks like a duck. It is a DUCK!

                            The ECO's are a riot but nobody in the states runs them.
                            They are an official NAMBA class, and for a couple of years a few clubs did run them. We ran them two years indoors in Alaska, they were popular for the olympic pool. We speced them as a one-desiggn class: a single hull allowed, a single motor and a single prop. The ECO racing was a lot of fun and pretty close if the boat didn't hook, but most members wanted faster boats when we raced outdoors in the Summer on the NAMBA 1/10th mile course. The ECO class died from lack of excitement on the oval. They are pretty lame on a big race course...
