I thought I had explained my reasoning why I decided on this boat/engine combo. I pretty much have a pre-school education in this hobby/sport where as you both have doctorate degrees. I have SO MUCH to learn. My long term goal is to race in about 2 years, 2027. I don't know rules, classes etc., but I will learn them, that's the easy part. Tuning, prop selection and other things will take time. For me money is tight but I believe it is wiser to spend the money now on good quality equipment, learn the how's and the why's and have some knowledge going into these races instead of showing up, looking like an idiot and/or ruining someone's boat. I just picked up a 46" twin craft mono and a picco 90 on new years day. I still plan on getting the seaducer and cmb 101 evo. If I want to be competitive in a couple of years, I'll have a boat to do that with...hopefully. I'm pretty sure that is why you don't see any Ford Escorts running in the Daytona 500. So until then it will be practice, practice, practice and learn everything I can.

 

[Jeff Barnes]

Sounds like you have a great plan

Sorry my bad. A modded 101 with speedmaster carb and pipe is only 1250.

No worries.... Happy New Year!

[Timbo Whalen]

How much are y’all paying for engine mods?

I'm thinking too much, Jeff....now, quit licking your chops, please!...

Exactly....I was building one up a year ago and after some thought regarding fuel consumption, all around maintenance, and the reality of having to travel ~1500 mi to compete, we made the correct decision to sell the complete, never fired rig to Frank Trapani (WastedWages) down in Texas....and he got a helluva deal.

Well, save up some money, Jeff!...can see this one coming!- 'For Sale: Seaducer SD3 45" Mono with CMB 101....run maybe 1-2 times, excellent condition...Best Offer.' ........

Not happening….

And yes it was an excellent deal.. Thanks
T-Bo…
