Top Secret

[Fast_ditchey]

Are the hydro boat plans top secret or have I just been looking in the wrong places? What hydro class or is there really one? I am looking for picklefork plans preferably, but want to get started with something.

I believe our host, Montana Race Craft, has plans for various classes.

Yes indeed - click on MRC advert on front page

Thanks for the links, i am looking for more of what class the Cal-Ore River Racers run. I know they are busy this weekend with a race tomorrow. I could talk to my brothers uncle, Angelo(Gino)Benetti, but i wanted to see what i could find out for myself.

The river racers run an APBA special event class called 'Outboard River Racer'. They have there own set of rules accepted by APBA. Go to www.caloreriverracers.org and follow the google sites link.

Thanks again for the help, i spent a few hours looking around, found the special event class and alot of good info on the APBA site. Slowly but surely ill get all the info i need and questions answered. Its been a good start.

I have a Pickle-fork for sale . 2011 US champion . turn-key . $6500 with trailer and 2 FAST! props.

[Fast_ditchey]

That would be great...if i had the money for it. Is it bad luck to change a boats number, like changing a ships name? Lol

[Fast_ditchey]

Anyone want to share their experience/opinion on the different styles of hydros for river racers? Pros, cons, your choice? I like the look of the picklefork, but just curious if there any big differences.

http://www.facebook.com/groups/256832018512/ lots of opinions here- good luck The last two high points boats have been forks, the two before that were shovel nose.

[Fast_ditchey]

Thanks Robert, but I dont use facebook. I was just curious if people that have driven both have an opinion either way.
