Hi All,
I'm making the plates for my Crackerbox and would like to see some pics of the exterior port or starboard sides to see the varying profiles, also the trailing edges. Also do the top and bottom edges have a radius on them or are they relatively sharp. I'm making mine out of 2024-T3 aluminum (.250). Please help out a landlocked guy in Kentucky. I have plenty of horses on my farm and locally, but no high-performance boats to check out.
Thanks All,
John H.

To bad you couldn't come out here in a few weeks. I'm sure the crackers will be running long beach.
I won't be at the race but maybe someone from here would be kind enough to take some pics for you.

LOL, ok Wish I would have know as I like putting faces with screen names.
I won't be there this year. I already made plans to go to the Classic Beach Boat Bash. I kinda bummed when I realized that I'm missing Long Beach.
I hope someone else gets some good pics. I posted a shitload of them from last years race.

Superdave,
Thanks for the pics. If you are out and see them soon I'd love to see the plates on the P21 Doidge boat and Jerry Ross's P69. I would be most appreciative for any pics. Also hope to come out and meet some of you folks and party (Parker or Havasu) next year.
Thanks,
John H.
