    Your builds look great, Jim. I tell myself that one day I'll build one, I've always wanted a shovel nose.

    I've always wanted to build the '66 Bardahl cab over, the one that took the life of Ronny Munson in Wash DC... that was Ron Jones' first cab over design. They blamed him for years, but found later that the boat probably hit something in the water, breaking the prop and causing it to nose in... I was a little kid, and I was there. That boat was so much faster than anything else in that day, it cornered like nobody had ever seen before!

    Jim, what hull would you recommend for that boat?

    I think that one would need to be scratch built with Roger Newton Plans
