Starting to look like we may have a pretty healthy turnout for the 1st. I went and did a little snatch n grab from google to get a map for Encore and make lfe a little easier for folks not in our area.

Danny, I just read your post again. For what its worth, if your looking for a boat to race, we don't have a crackerbox class. The hk hornet is a handful of problems and id not recommend the genesis as 3 of us used to race them. They aren't competitive in race water. If you want a tunnel, I've got a really nice woodstuff that's 90% complete. OS lower with a ul1 motor. Super clean. PM me if you'd like more details and pics.

If I have time next week to get my tunnel put together, I will try and make it on the 1st.

[dannybj26]

a friend might sell me a df cyberstorm,the tunnels i know its all about handling the woodstuff is probably really good but (no offense) my only problem is that it looks a little ugly the vs1 or the top speed 3 look abit more sleek and fast just standing there , the cracker box is just for fun and some races here in miami

[tiqueman]

Im by far a tunnel guy, but Id say the woodstuff looks a lot like both you mentioned ... at least, I dont see a difference.

[dannybj26]

never mind i thought it was the otherones like this one

or this one http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ight=woodstuff
that look like a wierd tomato

[tiqueman]

Yeah I don't like tomatoes either

[dannybj26]

yours looks good i was expecting the ones on my previous post the only thing is i think i prefer the monos better but i dont have anything against the cats,tunnels,riggers,hydros i like them but i think the mono is better for me

Hey Brian G. I stopped off by George's hobby shop in Palmetto on my way home this evening and mentioned that we were planning to run at Encore on the 1st. His son said he thought the water there was brackish (salt).
Can you verify one way or the other if it is or isn't?
Thanks
Bill

FWIW - the aquatic plants I saw growing in the pond there don't grow in brackish water.
