I'm getting all teary eyed here with the comments. Thanks, I wish there were more guys doing this racing cause it is a blast. The "B" class champion from this years world race is actually from north California; Denny Forrester, very nice guy with a fast boat. The boat shop is supposed to by e-mailing some photos of my new boat in progress. I'll post them as I get them. These tin boats make good lake boats too and the hulls work very well with smaller HP.
