Joe, you ought to see all of the sites I have saved in my AOL Favorites! This ain't even scratching the surface! Is Thunder Pro finally on line? That guy has been advertising that site for years and all he has is the domain name the last that I knew. I like to go into web sites and click on links to other sites, I've spent hours doing that.

Here's one. Scroll down to the "Links", dozens of gas boat manufacturers, etc. in there:http://home.austin.rr.com/jnissen/rcboat.html
Sign up and go into the Message Board, info overload.

Okay, I finally found it. I had to use the search to locate it.http://www.dumasproducts.com/cgi-bin/dumas.storefront/3dc1d3a102ea8d14271d40d409680697/Product/View/1431 It is a sleek hull but i've never seen it before. It might be OK for smooth water as is has a shallow-vee. Race boats noadays need a deep-vee because the water gets a little rough with 6 boats racing at once.
If I see an expert, I'll ask him. :D

oh, ok.......they also have a large selection of deep-vees, but they looked a little "too deep" [more like an ocean-liner than a racer]...maybe it's cuz the only deep vees i've seen were in magasines and at sites, or maybe it's cuz those designs are "pretty durn old". still, isn't that about the same angle as a Speedmaster? it seems so me that this sucker's something that coulda been called the "Speedmaster Jr." [like the economical version that's just a little bit less nasty and vicious]
