    Default Not Duct Tape

    We call it 100MPH tape......... remember that and stock up on it. Rubbing is racing.

    I know Chris, and Amanda, she races to. Speaking of them, Hope Don recovered well from his surgery, saw them up at UOM when my mom was in there for her surgery.

    Skoontz,

    If you need a new nose piece let me know, mine incorporate a windshield. I will make you a heck of deal on one. I think Ernie Dawes there in CA do as well ?

    Dave:

    I don't think the Dawecraft noses will work on this boat. We need one that will stick out in the center and I think Ernies mount flush at the hull with nothing sticking out....I'll dig out some pictures to see....But yeah, Ernie is sure alot closer than you or the other guy in Mass and if that works, that would make more sense.

    I also need to ask him as well as Roger Carr about the motor hieght/transom depth with a stepped bottom as well.

    Default Well!!!

    It is a know fact that you can't race Kneeldown Boats without DUCT TAPE.

    I once cut my shoulder on Carl Meyers B Runabout windshield (I drove Carl's number two rig all year and ended up High Point in the club), first heat out on a Saturday, Divisionals 1963, ambulance people felt I needed stitches....I just duct taped it together and left it for a week...and kept racing...

    I was High Point driver both days in a combined Stock and Alky Divisionals....

    Bottom Line about Dawe cowlings... A Dawe cowling is the front of the OLD STYLE Hoffman 45 capsule... And KT Doodle, the one on your boat was made at my shop and Ernie put it on...

    Ernie buys these nose pieces from me...He has two on order now. One for Jeff Conant's new A Hydro. And One for Marlee Hill's new J Hydro.

    KT and Bill, we have an AOF race Labor day weekend in Alexandria La. about 3 hrs. from here that you guys should come and race at. It would be cool to get to meet you guys. I spoke with Connie Payne at the AOF office and she and I are gonna try and get the Tri Hulls to race also. VERY COOL if we can make it happen.

    I would be interested also, perhaps some of the other 45's local would want to do it as well. I would do anything to get more local races going for us here,
    3 just isn't enough. Pineville/Alexandria is only 5-6 hrs away. IF Sport cant do it maybe AOF can!!! As I see it theres to many divisions and drivers are spread out with limited opportunity, especially down here in our region.

    I just want to race the darn boat without having to drive a 1000 miles

    Default Transom idea here....

    Please either let me k now what you think or destroy the idea with constructive criticsms...

    KT's boat is 8 1/2' long. It can be, hard to plane, even though if we use cleaver props rather than dog ears, it will come up fine with little rocking...Her transom is too low based off the 1 3/8" gauge in the rule book....So, what would occur if I made an adjustable aluminum transom, weight, 3.5 lbs and we have that to spare, that would cantilever the hydro which would in effect plane the boat faster....Or, will this not work or not allowed on a hydro? I did not see anything specifically barring adjustable transoms, so long as they remain fixed from start to finish in the race....This just might give her the extra length I think she needs to make it more stable.....

    So, good idea, bad idea, too much coffee this morning????? whad da ya think?????
