thanks, i'm working on a new cowl now . i was told that the cowl i have now will not be able to run in a namba race they said the pipe must be covered, but on some boat the pipe is covered but it's just half the pipe. my question is how much of the pipe need to be covered. thanks fellow let's keep those sport40's coming.
My understanding of the rule is the whole pipe needs to be covered. Eric Bourlet is the NAMBA sport hydro chairman and can answer your questions. [email protected]
Brian: I also raced inboards in the 60's. In fact from 1961 to 1981. I remember your Dad but can't recall where he was from. Did he race 135, 150 or 2.5 mod? Only kidding. It's strange isn't it how then can change the name of the same class. Your sport 40's are really nice. Mine run well but sure don't look anywhere near as nice as yours. Perry

how do you start that thing with that cowl set up?? Do you just open the nose area and push it a side?? Do you just latch the nose down before the launch??
