New Boats--Let's see em

[propnuts]

New CSH?

Are you at liberty to disclose who the driver of that new boat might be?

[daveracerdsh]

Loaning stuff.

Great post Sean. That was nice of Darren to loan you boat when you kept flipping yours. I have a new CSH almost ready to turn over...when I do that I will post some pics here. I am pretty proud of this thing.

Regardless if you really care or not, this is racing! and racing by definition is not a friendly sport when it comes to design and speed secrets. Clearly Daren is a serious racer who has invested some serious cash over the years to put him self out front and not run dead last or mid pack.

I'm sure he could care less if anyone comes within a 100 feet of his rig or not, he clearly has a goal set for himself to win and will let nothing stand in is way.

Did you ever go up to your competition and ask to use his best prop or even better maybe ask to borrow his best motor, probably not well the same thing applies here. This is not flower arranging class 101 this is supposed to be hard core racing and I don't blame any driver or designer for not making there specs public on this web site or any other.

Hang on tight Daren and kick some ass out there !

I guess I'd be the exception to that. Daren let me use one of his 102's and prop this last year. However, since it was only my 3rd race ever I doubt he considered I'd be a front runner. He also let me use one of his 80's later on and I was on his tail the entire race. I doubt he'll be loaning his best stuff out to me this year - I just might be able to beat him with his own stuff

Dan..I appreciate what you are saying, but you are missing my point. I am not asking Darren to borrow a motor, prop etc. I was simply asking for some general advice on dimensions on a boat for what is essentialy a new motor. Thats all. If he wants to keep it to himself, that fine. But I think flippent answers are not called for. If he does not want to help me, fine, just say so. In region 10, we all try and work together to help each other, as every single racer in area will tell you. I have been approached by a new racer that is interested in purchasing a Tohatsu and wants me to build him a boat. I will find all the information I need from another source aside from Hydroracer. (nothing personel) At this point, I have no idea what other builders are doing for the class....but I am sure a few of them will be happy to help me out. Racer Dave

length x width x height = I am not telling all my secrets! Let's just say it is too big for A and too small for 350 Pro.......

hey daren
you can tell dave it's so fast on the trailer that the oregon state police all most gave
the boat a ticket..!!!
I took a good look at her on the way up north,it's to big for a A and to small for 350 pro
and daren when ya get time fix the light post in the driveway

Honestly Darren..I dont really care what the dimensions are. People are just interested. If you want to be flippent about it, thats up to you. I am somewhat interested in building a boat for a Tohatsu..but if you dont want to give out any information thats up to you dude. All I was asking for was general stuff.

Da Banana has been fixed for awhile now. Look for another fruit coming out soon. Hahah I made a funny.

[daveracerdsh]

Dsh

Ha ha...yah..I should have known better. Dave

[Cameraboy]

This is why some refer to DSH in Region 10 as "Drama Stock Hydro"

Hey Troy - have you guys fixed the Big Banana yet?

[daveracerdsh]

New stuff

Boy, I was not trying to create a "soap opera" or anything of the sort. I have somebody that is interested in buying a Tohatsu and having me build them a boat similar to my current DSH rig, and I honestly am unsure of where to go with it. All i was interested in were general dimensions, such as approx. sponson length etc. I am not interested in very specific stuff that each builder builds into his boats. I just don't want to take all the time and effort to build a new Tohatsu D boat and have the thing be way off and have a new racer get frustrated etc. Thats all. I will find out info from other sources. Racer Dave

Beats the heck out of

[QUOTE=mercguy;69279]This ain't no soap opera and I do not have the right to do thatQUOTE]

Beats the heck out of Young & Restless..........

Mac,

JDS looks good !! Your dad's skull cap looks cool to !! What happened to the ones you got in Okumuldge after a hard nights drinking ? Can't wait to mix it up with you again in EMR !!! Wonder if I should build dad a new E H.... gotta keep up ya know !!

[HRTV]

Daren,

Kick ass buddy and shut them all up good luck with it, keep us posted.

[pops67g]

Is this real or scripted for our enjoyment?

I almost don't believe what I am seeing here. Is this a textbook definition of paranoia or what? If this boat doesn't perform as well as you want or expect, then what? I know from more than a couple years of experience and lots of race boats that just because they look nice it's no guarantee that you become an automatic worldbeater. Now that I've said the obvious, good luck with the new lumber. mike 67G

Good luck in 2007 Darren. Nobody is asking you for secrets. You are reading way more into this then you need to. All that was being asked was sponson length and afterplane. People like to help each other out, thats all.

[mercguy]

you do the math......

Honestly Darren..I dont really care what the dimensions are. People are just interested. If you want to be flippent about it, thats up to you. I am somewhat interested in building a boat for a Tohatsu..but if you dont want to give out any information thats up to you dude. All I was asking for was general stuff.

I gave you the "general dimensions" Davey! If you want the specifics, then ask the builder, not me, as he is the one that did all the hard work with the dimensions and building the boat for the Tohatsu. Should I wash all his hard work down the drain and tell all? This ain't no soap opera and I do not have the right to do that.........end of discussion.........
