I've got one twin heat. I'm in first for 3 laps then, it goes south. Makes it hard to watch.
it happens Jeff. in brandon race in 2011 Dick jones hit a bouy trying to get inside me bounced off the water right into my path head on collision at over 75+ his boat was a total loss.. you can avoid those type of things..I've got one twin heat.

Yes, it happens. I saw alot of crashes. I saw a roadrunner hit Alberts dead carbon Crapshooter. I'm going to tell you, DO NOT HIT ALBERTS CARBON TWIN!!!!!! AFTER WHAT I SAW I WOULD NOT SHOOT MY 30-06 AT THAT BOAT BECAUSE I WOULD BE SCARED OF THE RICOCHET!!!!! I started talking to him about how he constructed that boat, and the conversation went short because of a heat that was starting. I plan on talking to him again, the strength of that boat was impressive.

:lol: :lol:Put some BRIGHT colors on that boat. With all of that black it is very hard to see the boat when it is dead in the water. I am very sure that it helped in getting the boat hit during the race. I am a very strong proponent of high visability racing. The brighter the boats are the easier they are to see and find on the water, running or dead. Just think about that when working on the boats over the winter - for everyone.Jeff,
I thought what you posted about my carbon twin was pretty funny. After a long weekend my twin did in fact get hit three times. I slung a blade which vibrated, broke the strut and then took out the rudder and the second prop. In another heat I hit a turtle which kicked up my rudder and took out another set of props. In another heat I again hit a turtle which launched the boat in the air followed by the Roadrunner hit. This hit took out the wood sponsons but also took a direct hit to the side from the Roadrunner turn fin which caused no damage. In the Shootout I again either hit something or got hit on the first turn. My boat sat in the middle of turn one and again it got hit two more times by the gas twins.
After all this bashing my center section lost the top rear skin (about three inches long) which took all of about two minutes to glue back on. This method of construction has proven to be the ticket for a bullet proof race boat. It is a bit difficult to build but well worth the effort long term. I am now doing the same thing to my sponsons so all that will give will be the boom tubes. Racer beware HAHAHAH :angry:
