hey just to let all know !! the first cobra used to be a sniper i bought the molds from bill britton and built them for years. now the second gen cobra is a different story this boat i built and ran as a proto type before i deceided to mold it. it shares many of the same sponson angles and length and so on, that the gen 2 sniper had , but with a twist, the bottom is quite different i put stumble pads at the front smaller than the first cobra then i made a ride pad at the back and made the sides flat and also the deck is quite different a larger transom & the center section is open all the way accross with a block at the front to screw the cowling to. this is my design that i built myself. i do owe bill a bit of reconition i got inspiration from his design and took it to another level
