    Those Speedcraft's are as pretty as they were fast. I'll consider having Rick do the paint if he is willing. Do me a favor and keep Norman and Smock separated. Those guys are a bad influence on each other....

      It sure is a quick little boat. I'll do my best with Doug & Norman, they're practically inseparable

                Hey Doug, I'm starting the interior work on the Speedcraft. What length do you like from the shaft side of the motor face to the transom (measured from the inside)? I'll be using a Insane FE mount mounted to some 1/8 ply with blind nuts, then epoxied into the hull. Going to do this build a little arse backwards. Will mount all the interior stuff while I wait for a new Road Runner sponson to be built. Then I'll send everything to paint before I mount the transom hardware.

                Word on the street is John Finch got his hands on a certain green Rico Mono to race in D12 next year.

                    Mike,
                    With the motor sitting at the correct angle it's 5-7/8" from the inside of the transom to the top of the motor.

                    Sold off your mono Kent?

                      He tapped out when I told him I purchased a Speedcraft. LOL Seriously, he's working on a new project. I think I'm more excited about it than he is. I'll let him elaborate.

                      Thanks for the info Doug.

                              Thanks Doug. As you know I've had rotten luck with the P-Mono's. This one looks like a winner out of the box. Prepare to do battle in July..

                              Kent, You can pit for me any time. Looking forward to seeing the new boat.
