If you look at the 2nd pic, you'll see all the cool stuff Tim way trying to improve the hull:
-Aluminum airtraps, note they have been trimmed between the front and rear sponsons.
-Rear turning fin bracket.......We all know if he had continued designing and racing his boats, he too would have come up with either the multiple fin setups we see today on the heavier capsule boats, or the canted angled fins all hydros use today.... it was just a matter of time.
-Under the Champion sticker on the sponson is a black (metal?) plate that has been bolted or screwed to extend the sponson edge aft. (Don't be confused by the thing that looks like it's attached to the plate--It's the front stand--Look at the wat the rear stand is built and you'll see)
-You'll also see another black plate on the bottom of the boat in front of the aluminum airtrap.....hmmmmm?
-The quest for the last mile per hour.......plexi cowling for his left throttle hand.
-Zak type air induction box.
-Lifting rails (Yeah RIGHT!) on the underside of the rear sponsons.
AMAZING!!
