Nice work Marc

Het Marc care to explain the new nose design.

[Composite Specialties]

Composites

It is all part of the new composite center section. The nose is all Kevlar and foam core that is fused with the two composite cockpit sides that are Kevlar and Carbon Fiber. It makes the boat lighter, stronger and hopefully much safer than regular wood sides.

[HRTV]

So are both cockpit walls carbon fiber from the decks up and the whole length of the boat ?

Thanks

[Composite Specialties]

Cockpit Walls

The cockpit walls are all composite from the bottom of the boat up and from the transom to the nose of the boat. The crossframes are inserted thru the cockpit walls and the wood part of the boat is built around the composite center section.

Thanks for the quick reply, sounds like a very safe concept in terms of broad side impacts.

wow that thing is freakin beautiful,,,man o man o man weve got some really amazing boats coming out ,,,,thank you Mark and to the other hand full of guys out there perfecting the craft of stock/pro/mod race boats,,,,you keep our sport/love moving forward,,, I dig the kev. nosecone/cockpit sides,, but if i had one question for Mark would be his reason behind the center of the forward deck hanging out past the rest of the deck???if he would share,,, again much respect to a talented craftsman Mark Johnson,,,,,

about that nose . . .

with the center section sticking out a bit, and the sponson tips sticking out a lot, when you hook a buoy it STAYS HOOKED! Perfect

Kidding, Mark, boat looks great and I like the composite cockpit and *blunt* sponson tips.

Sponsons made for buoy bumping! I like that idea.

BTW, What's the ruling if you deflate a buoy but don't take it with you? (I've known that to happen a time or three.)

[Bill Huson]

YOU'RE DQed !!!

Dislodgeing or destroying a buoy results in a DQ. Spearing a buoy results in a DQ as well, but when you return to the pits with a buoy on your sponson tip you will usually draw loud cheers and/or jeers

Mark,

GREAT JOB! Joe's gonna love it. I was up at his place for his annual bar crawl and that's all he talked about last night! He is fired up and couldn't wait to come down to get it this week.

I think this may be one of the safest boats we've ever seen in SO. Keep up the good work and hopefully we can all follow suit in the near future.

How much lighter does it make the boat than a similar wood boat?

Team Roper (MJR) keeps growing

Very Sweet, Marc!!
I love the varaition on the ducker section and the whole boat looks great. With all these Teammates in their new wood, mine is going to be the old man in the fleet. Might have to start raiding the couch cushions and pinching pennies and think about an upgrade.

For those of you looking for new wood, I don't think you could go wrong with one of Marc's boats. Not only is the craftmanship top shelf, these boats ride great. Turn on a dime, handle the rough water with no problem and with all the kevlar and carbon in the cockpit, are probably one of the strongest & safest made today. These boats will spoil you.

Hey Marc in your opinion would this be the next best thing to a capsule so far as side impact to the driver ? Of course the driver is not sitting or straped in but this might be the next best thing so long as the driver stays in the boat during a wreck ?
