Just wondering

[Cookee]

This should start some rumours!






Just wondering what boat people would choose to do P1 Supersport in? Have a look at the rules and the current fleet: http://www.powerboatp1.com





Not saying I'm going to do it - just talking about it! (Got to be carefull here don't want to be tarred with the Manos/Codprawn brush here!

Why not make a Bananawhale.

 

[Matt]

Why not make a Bananawhale.

Cos if I was going to do it I'd need to get it designed, make plugs and moulds, make and sell 25 of them before I could race it! (In Supersport)











Good idea for a name though!

As per PM, I think supersport doesn't require the 25 hulls, which adds quite a few possibilities.

What about the Techno 40 at drivers, think it's owned currently by andy mcateer? Currently sans engines I believe, but as gordon mcmath suggested, could be ripe for a pair of express marine big blocks?

And let the spending begin

To hell with P1 & supersport this is what they should run, bet it would take over Cowes & more exposure than anything racing

Techno 40... could be ripe for a pair of express marine big blocks?

Err, you do know what came out of that don't you?

 

[Matt]

Yeh, something like 6 or so seateks in quick succession.

 

[Matt]

Unless you mean it now has new motahs

 

[Ice Kiddie]

no, I meant the Seateks.

 

[Cookee]

Wouldn't the Techno be a bit big for Supersport? How much does it weigh? Gordon - just dangle it on your crane and give us a clue?

Yes it had Seateks in it before, there is a power to weight rule with this class - 1hp per 4.5 KG which is 222hp per ton according to my rusty maths!

Oh yeah max 80MPH as well!

 

[Matt]

Supersport max length = 42ft

Don't know how heavy, but the hp/kg ratio, I think, means you should be able to stay competitive in the flat even in a heavier boat - plus it'd conquer all in the rough.

Don't get me wrong, it might not even be for sale, it's just an idea, which is what ya asked for.

Wossis, an 'ardboater recommending a RIB?!

 

[Jon Fuller]

Yeah, 'Pish' to the fkkn rib Yorke!!!

get a 38 Buzzi, which is where the fkkn rib started life!! (before it was ruined)

Now go and wash your mouth out with soap!!!

WTF is with the wings?

Just wondering what boat people would choose to do P1 Supersport in?

How about a Phantom 28? I'm surprised no one has suggested it yet!

Or, looking at Ben's pictures, what about a Hunton Gazelle?

 

[Matt]

To short, ya'd have to stretch it a bit.
