Seriously we hope to give you and as many people in classes above us a bit of a race - still no idea how fast we can get it to go and then there's reliability!
At least we could go through as many as we like and still stay dry!

Hi John just a thought about you running an open cabin with a windscreen,in my Autograss days when racing on the occasional tarmac race I thought I was being clever putting a windcreen(better airodynamics) and wiper back in a car with no side or rear windows,the minute it rained the windcreen misted up and with my harneses on I couldn't reach the screen to wipe it,you probably have this sussed with heated screens/heater or a cloth on a stick but thought it worth a mention. Good Luck-great looking boat, Nic

From the look of the photos I reckon you were exceeding the 8 knot speed limit !

Tim's very long lens makes it look like we were much further in than we were - it was quite bumpy as you can see from the photos - and you know it always looks flatter than it was! We managed 64 mph and although the revs were quite high I'm sure we've got a bit left with these props, the good news is it popped up onto the plane easily enough so I think we'll be looking for a bigger pair ASAP!
The boat handled the quite unpleasant seas very well and I'm sure with a bit more practise and understanding of the hull we'll make very good average speeds. The boat did everything we asked of it and as Tim said no snags!

It looks absolutely fantastic you must be so proud! The chines at the bow and the lines of the screen make the front 3/4 view properly aggressive, can I have one in black please?
