    34" Mono by SpeedCraft Boats

    Maiden voyage of the prototype and it's first race. Note: The color on the boat is "Duck" tape.

    Quick run after paint. Ready for the 2013 race season.

        That's where you're wrong Doby. A redneck would NEVER use Duck tape AND pin stripes on the same project. LOL

        Cut a brother some slack. I built the boat the weekend before the last race. There wasn't time for paint and I had to do something quickly.
        Besides, tell the truth. Is that not the nicest tape job you've ever seen on a model boat??
        I'm going to try real hard to give you the opportunity to chase this boat around the pond at "Da Cup".

        PS Thanks to you and your neighbors for keeping our pond full all year. We certainly appreciate it!

                        Doug, Do you think there is any chance a FE mono class could run at the Atlanta spring nats? I have a Q but could put together a P if that's the most popular. Chris

                            Hi Chris,
                            Lamar and I spoke about this today. P Mono and P Limited O/B Tunnel may be offered at the Spring Nationals. There is a "Run what you brung" (any legal IMPBA boat) class as well.

                            Thanks,
                            D.

                              I guess I'll get working on a 34" version of my 40" nitro/fe mono!
