New Boats for 2010

[guedo499]

I have a real itch to build a boat this winter and we are seriously considering a new CSR. Still need to get approval from the driver and the Moby Grape Racing treasurer.

I'm pretty sure what the driver's response would be.... As for the treasurer, best of luck with that!

Tell your driver to put his Big Boy Pants on and build him a DSH.

I like that idea!! No "Hippy Hoppy" runabouts Good luck with the treasurer, wish I could be a fly on the wall during that conversation!!

You already have the design, just shave some weight out of her... GL

Shave weight?

I have to put 45 pounds in, shaving weight wouldn't help much

Nice to know you and your brother are still around. What boat design are you going with this time?

So Moby Grape you didn't answer the question on the DSH?

If the new CSR becomes a reality does that mean the old one may be for sale?

Only if it's slower!

We are still around; Depue was our last planned race in 2009 to due business start ups. Our neglected 20/C program will get some R/D .... Pater showed us our C/20 programs are off by a couple. Once we find it plus 1, we'll show up

Yet to be seen ..... Stinger is a custom C class composite vessel to be driven by Lewis and White Lightening is a modified Sam Hemp composite design to be driven by Kelly. Hot Wasabi and Kamikaze are still in the stable and undergoing single class modifications. Last but not least, the OSY program will continue to evolve with Guedo at the helm.... I hear he's learning Swedish?

Just wondering, what does a bare hull, unrigged go for roughly? And how many differant manufacturers are there?

[blueskyracer]

Scott, I really don't know how many folks build boats. You can look on this site under hulls and hardware in the top left corner.

Thanks Mike. I was just wondering if any of the builders needed someone to CNC cut thier pieces out insted of hand cutting everything. A friend of mine has a shop set up to cut any wood pieces any size any shape. Didn't know if anyone was looking for such a service to keep parts exact size, or to speed up the build time. Thanks again.

I think we should start placing bets as to whether or not Rotten Ralph Cook will ever finish his "new" boat. It's already 3 or 4 years old and still needs a deck.
