Well this boat is a blast from the past. Here's the story. Greg David build this boat out of carbon fiber everything literally. There where (2) of these boats made one raced by Scott Whittcraft and the other by Greg David.
One of the twins raced by Scott was destroyed during a F hydro heat and Greg was having issues with it before he sold it to Joe warren back in 2006.
Since then this boat has been a shelf queen. After 4 years of harassing Joe Warren he parted with the boat in 2013 and I paid good money for it lol but it was worth it.
Since then I have been slowly rebuilding the boat with the help of Mr. Roadrunner Ralph Almirola since it's basically a Copy of a roadrunner. He put his engine mounts in and got them setup and I screwed them up as usual lol. He put the throttle servo block in and did the linkage as well as I had a machined steering servo made to fit the back of the boat and he did the linkage for that as well.
This particular twin has (2) radio boxed seperate one for throttle and the other for steering. After 2 years of being a shelf queen again David Wilfong very familiar with my engine mount issue took on the task of fixing them again for the second time since I messed them up after Ralph did them.
After a few months I stopped working on it and started building my twin 45 in my other thread and this boat took the back burner again for the 4th time.
Well now I got motivated with David Wilfong,Ralph Almirola and Mark Sholunds pressing me to get the boat done and finally it's ready to race.
One thing I love about the hobby is where boaters come in and help and motivate a fellow boater to get stuff done and ready for the water.
My thanks goes out to my friends Joe Warren, Ralph Almirola, David Wilfong and Mark Sholund you guys are the best and thank you for all your help and long nights to get this blast from the past twin hydro as we know it by (ELVIS) back in tip top shape and ready for the water. It's been 10 years since this twin been down the lake and it's ready because of my good friends in the hobby.
THANK YOU
Julian
