    I can only assume that hull has been reinforced for water like that. The one Mystic I had my hands on was so thin, a stiff breeze could crack the hull.

      The boat looks perfectly weighted Jesse, flies over the waves just right! Just think how fast the boat is going to be when the prop is actually in the water, lol!

        Thanks guys, this is a Darin Jordan special. He chopped off the rear overhang, reinforced the hull and blueprinted the sponsons for n2 saw.

                  You may not need to, Ray. I placed the strut at the same place as geico... try flat bottom long strut?

                          The record for the two-way was 70.356mph with some faster one-way passes

                          and that's "The Plain Truth" (sez Karl Denson )
