We had to repair our raceboat just one season. But that was due to some serious stuffing

10 years of hard beating sounds good to me anyways!

in all fairness the boat was not used solidly for 10 years - but had some pretty tough use at times when running with twin XR2's. Not sure when it had to be repaired, but must have been when Mark and Odette Priestly raced her.
