    Thumbs up cool..

    I think the video was pretty cool. Nice project. I do have a couple questions. First of all what class is the boat going to run? Most of all. (stupid I know) Why do the air traps stop so far forward? Never seen that before. I had a hydro with WAY to much lift and we made alluminum sliders right behind the sponsons to open and close(with holes) to spill the air but I've never seen them stop before the back of the boat before.

    Default Way Cool KT.....

    Will you dad let you "hire" yourself out? I would be interested in hiring you for several video "Projects". Broc says he can't wait until Parker to race you in A Hydro...

    Great question. This is KT by the way. Um.. I actually have no idea. That boat is and A Hydro. This boat was Pam Rucker's boat. She did pretty well with it as I am told. I got from Bill Curtis and his son flipped it so it sat for about 5 years. I know that is was a love craft. It has steps on the bottom. a strange peice of wood that digs into the water when you turn left (at nationals none of the other boats had that). It is a boat that is VERY VERY hard to get on plane. Other than that I know nothing else, besides it was a fast boat and it placed well. Thank you for responding! KT

    I believe you mean Kim Rucker, as opposed to Pam.

    Good luck w/ the project, and you may possibly race against our daughter at some point this summer.

    She meant Kim not Pam.

    The air traps...Seem to be a tad short, but, since we never have had this boat in the water, we won't no nothing.....

    Ron:

    KT says she will be glad to do some video for you. We found this cam corder at one of the homes my wife sold...The owner left a box of electronic yuppified gizmos behind and did not want them...So, with new used pre owned electronics in hand, she is ready to tape....\

    Now why can't my wife list someones house that used to race boats and we find an A gearfoot in the closet?

    We got alot of work to do and money to spend between now and Parker...Which reminds me I gotta call a couple people back........

    Sorry buddy... I didn't mean anything I just have never seen one like that (with the short air traps) and was interested in what the advantage was.. I hope every thing works out good and good luck to you guys this season.. Most of all HAVE FUN.

    Ill call ya MrRude with the big Johnson...because, if you don't drive an OMC, you ain't got no johnson...LOLOL

    All I can say is what we have been told by the racers who ran against this boat...Hard to plane, but, that was with grown ups...A 105 lb driver might have an advantage. Good boat, as in very fast. Handling quirks? Ask Kevinn Curtis...It has steering reduction pullies rather than wired direct, and, Kevin put it on it's deck because he was not used to the delayed steering. I'm thinking a new driver, and one that had a hard time pulling a C boat out of a tight turn, (At the Thunderboat Regatta, she was cicling near a buoy, and a Fountain...We were saying, buoy, Fountain, buoy Fontain...Take the buoy, it's only $1500 to reset and it won't hurt as much....) should run the reduction pullies until she wants to run it direct.

    So, this weekend between running loads we are going to stripe it like the 1955 Ms. Thriftway and letter it...Then the fun. Life jacket, cut suit, helmet, gearfoot, steering bars..

    Has anyone got a picture of how the throttle linkage of an OMC A goes with cable? I got a pretty good idea, but, a picture is worth 4000 words!
