Sorry guys but there is disagreement about which boat this is. As it sits it is the T-2. The T-2 has a pointier nose than the T-3. Also the depth of the canard is less than on the T-3. If you look at the back of the boat, it does have the metal under the turbine tube area and the non-existant turbine tube.
All of these traits point to the T-2. However, the problem comes from the fact that the T-2 only ran once in the red paint job. That was at the San Diego race. The boat was still painted gold when it ran in Seattle.
In San Diego it only ran with the salt water scoop on it, so you either need to add that or redo the canard and turbine tube area.
Bill Fritz hulls come with the T-2 canard, so unless you modify it, that is what you get. I know, I have three of them. I think you are rigth though about it not being a Fritz hull, based upon the contour of the nose.
Of course all that is based upon your local inspector being a hard ass. I can't really think of anyone who would 1. Know the differences and 2. Would care.
So you are probably OK saying it is the T-3
1994 Bud T3
Note the visible turbine tube and the deeper canard and shorter nose
1994 Bud T-2
Salt Water Scoop, pointier nose, no visible turbine tube from this angle, metal under turbine tube area
BTW the paint difference in Chip's name was with the Gold Paint job not the red one. His name was blue on the T-2 and red on the T-3.
