Zipp 30" tunnel update

I chased Mark's prototype around the pond yesterday. What a great boat! It could use a cooler cowl, though.
LOL

I realize you were giving Dunny a friendly roast on the cowl but seriou

I realize you were giving Dunny a friendly roast on the cowl but seriously I am attacking the cowl as we speak....I want to do some testing on the cowl to make sure it is "aero benign"....for now the Dunny style cowl will have to suffice......

The guy who took that photo is the "Dunny Style" guy. That Dunny even has "style" is probably debatable.

And quite a "Stylish" photo it is...

EVERY cowl.. I have EVER PUT ON A BOAT.. has been "pooped on" by somebody.. Thats OK..

Hell.. give em a block of foam, some epoxy, some popsicle sticks and glass cloth and tell em its a "Do it yourself" cowl kit...! LOL I bet they will think whatever cowls is on the boat when the get it is DANG SEXY after that.

Aero neutral or even aero enhanced if its beneficial, I honestly haven’t had a tunnel cowl that wasn’t cool enough, as long as it’s functional.

Now THIS was a cool cowl. I remember seeing this at the tunnel champs yearsss ago. Sweetest looking boat on the water. Wasn’t this one of Mic’s HTVs with the custom cowl Mikey Z?

The boss (Mic) did not care for it.. EVEN after it won.. LOL.. O well.. He is a good dude and it was a one good running boat... LOL.. What I do know it was about the most neutral cowl I have ever raced. And the idea.. was to WIN!.. it did! (that WCR was its first event too..LOL)

Guys were asking .. why does it not bounce (porpose) down the straights.. why.. it was VERY well setup and to make it constant I had to balance the entire package.. that was one of the best 7.5 "good water" boats I have ever raced. Wait.. its the ONLY 7.5 boat I have ever raced.. LOL.. still true to this day..

Seems like at some point some one asks for a weight. Finished my new nitro boat today. No weight added to get a good starting c.g. without fuel it is 4lbs. 9oz. that is 8oz. lighter then the first prototype. I made no attempt to build light, but I don't add a bunch of unneeded weight either. This boat is sealed with epoxy and cleared.

Looks like we are going to have some fun tomorrow in A stk.

UNTRUE I loved the Aeroslot. Still have the poster you gave us on the wall at the office. I wanted one of those cowls but was afraid to ask a as it was kind of your "trademark look" I still keep a couple of those hulls rigged for rough water. At 32" it really worked over many larger hulls. Credit Tommy Lee as the bottom was mostly his design.

I have been sneaking around Zipp land trying to find out when the G30 will be released. Based on my spying this what I've found. The egg has been laid but not hatched

Great News!
Cowlings were shipped!
We should be able to begin shipping later this week.

Once we have the kits ready, we will notify those on the list. We won't hold any or do any pre-sales, sorry. We tried that once and it bit us hard...
If you want to be notified, simply email us.
