Tim,
No, just X mono and hydro. I have a 67 cobra, but that is not finished. 2 boats is heaps when you are flying over! My luggage is going to be cramped with only two boats!
Dale,
Haha, we will see! I need to make sure it is consistent, it is very fast but I hear a lot of them are fast over there now!

Tim,
At Griffith this year I was the only person in X mono not using a CMB! Unfortunately my motor was way too new there and I didn't have it sorted out. Tony's boat was pretty good at Griffith too. I think I will be competitive, but I dont think i will be blowing them into the weeds!
Dale,
The carnage at Griffith was pretty high, not very many finishers!

The pipe coupler hose is silicon with polyestor webbing molded in to it. It is too small for the Titanium pipe, but
it will be okay for the 11cc or 13cc macs pipe. I have never blown one of them. Try it out.

Hey Dale! I by chance had some free time today, I ran down to Shimizu's to get you tanks but they were out of the 18oz. I ordered them, should take about 7-10 days to get them.
While I was there, I met the Pres. of the JMPBA. He was looking at some of the mods that I did to the Kingcraft.
He took one look at the tabs and said, "illegal!" I was like
what do you mean, and he said the step between the bottom edge of the boat and the bottom surface of the
tabs must be less than 2mm. The holes you drilled in the
transom were too high. Gonna have to make a note of this for the next order. Mr. Shimizu drilled the holes that were in the stainless tabs big enough to give them about 2mm of play. I was able to mount them flush with the bottom of the boat, but now my boat is all out of trim. I will have to waste some fuel tomorrow to get it back to racing condition. Rats! I had it perfect.

Hey Dale!
Get your rule book out mate! ;D You bet we do! Trim plates can only be 2mm above or below the bottom!

Hey guys!
I wonder what the IMPBA has to say about it.
I know that the rules they used to use are what the JMPBA
uses as a base for their rules.
Nitrocrazed! I don't think having them 2mm below would be good common sense ;D
Gotta get back to work.

: Got some weird rules over there! Who would want to put them below the transom anyway? That would totally screw up the handling. It might make a mono a hydro under the rules as it would give the hull multiple riding surfaces. It might be in the IMPBA rules that they have to be level with or higher than the transom, gotta look it up. Too high would diminish the effect.
