We use old style .21 tune pipe for .12 or .15 engines.

Chester - my girlfriend was looking over my shoulder and saw the pic of the purple rigger and said "That is SOOOOO cute! I want one."

Thanks, Dude! ;D

Hi Dude,

This is my friend Michael's rigger, I will check if he can sent you something.

Cheers

Man, now everybody is comming out of the closet with a .12 rigger!

I would be very interested in a copy of the scan for this boat.

Why did you call them SAW boats, they seem to be rigged up for oval competion?

That step just ahead of the rear sponsons looks real interesting. Would this have the same effect as a sloping rear tub?

This is air dump, and we drill hole to pass out water.

What is "SAW", what is the differnent to the design to a normal rigger?

SAW is short for straight away. Boats designed specifically for going fast in a straight line.

Chester,

The basic difference on an SAW boat is the sponsons are usually set in a little closer to the hull with no offset to the left. They are not ment for oval racing. They only need to make a slow wide turn to make the return straight away pass and are usually as thin and light as possible.
