    That strut is a 1/4" stainless steel roller bearing setup. Can't wait to see how that performs.

          So are we going to be racing against each other...Carretero vs Blade???

          We'll have to draft each other around the course like NASCAR!

            If you can keep up. Neu power! haha. I would have went for the Blade if I didn't have this. The Blade has great lines.

            They make a boat that's even bigger. Patron Saint I think. Too much boat for FE I think.

            TFL makes these for a client. They don't actually sell them through distributors. Only their client can sell them and that client has expressed no interest in selling here. That's my understanding at least. I don't believe their client has put any on the water yet either.

            They could sell them here but it would have to be changed somehow. Like longer shorter etc.

              Aren't you running offshore with the Blade? I may be running the Outrage in offshore and this in T mono.

                    Not sure how much trouble you are having measuring your boat but there are guidelines in the NAMBA rule book, You will also find the length limits for each class there to see which class it will fit in.
                    I am all about the helping you know.

                      hehe Jeff ya tool.

                      It's a touch shy of 40". I'm throwing 8s in it which makes it no longer a Q boat. Should be a handful running through the holes Haines cuts in a lake. It might even be simply not enough boat fr this setup. Might have to drop back to 6s. Got a 2215 for that too.

                            Terry, I could make some go/no go gauges for the nats for the class lengths. I haven't seen so much confusion in finding out lengths of boats in peoples posession since the whole H&M viper length issues 10 years ago. I would also be willing to bring a 4 foot 2x12 that we could put by the drivers stand and at the start of N-1 heats we could put paint on it to see which is faster.
                            Remember I am all about the helping.

                              Yuk it up, but you guys are still running "Spec SV27", right?? Pffft... My N1 Mono is faster... And, it'll stay upright for an entire heat...

                              Nice looking Teaser, Terry... Rub it in a little, why don't you?!
