Here is the latest progress from our friend in Sweden. He is using plans from our C mod to make his own boat with a water jet. Amazing work

Yep, then Brent Harnack had it after John did, and ran a 500 and 700 on it. It's been passed around a few times since.

Also Dave you can step up to D Mod if you like so you can run 2 classes and get your moneys worth!! Its going to be a big class this year for sure. Love to have you anytime.

Well Steve A "mate" I guess you win. You were the first to say it is a D mod and if you go to the budget D mod motor build you will see the beast that is waiting to go on it. Dale Bartley just finished it and it looks good.

It is even my shade of blue Much faster with that color and it has pipes!! Not bad for coming up with the boat and motor build 2 days before christmas! All Dales idea.
