Problem is Namba and Impba rules keep getting mixed up. If you are going to build any kind of boat consult your orgs. rule book and ask the director in charge of that class.....In Impba cabover round nose such as Thriftway are allowed as well as short pickle boats like the 71 Atlas. It would be nice if we all had the same rules but it did not work out that way......MikeOkay, now I'm confused. Someone posted earlier in this thread that Thunderboats are required to be round or chissel nosed boats 48-56" long and 24" or more wide, yet on the Warehouse Hobbies website, a link says the boats need to be 46-56" long and 21" or more wide with the only hull restriction being no front cockpits and pickleforks must be less than 10% of the hull's length. Which one is right, or is one for NAMBA and the other for IMPBA? By using the rules in the WHH website, I could build any pre-1980 boat except the Thriftway Too, Cabover Bardahl, 70 Pay N' Pak, 74 Miss U. S, 77 Atlas, U-95, the Squire boats, the 79 Budweiser, 79 Circus Circus or the Country Boy/Redman. Anyone know what the official word really is????
