    John, that's a DPI Crackerbox. Fun little boat, but long since sold.

    What's that 1/10 scale Crackerbox on the shelf underneath?

    Profile comparison with the cowl as supplied (ignore the vertical fins, I've decided against them).

    Cowl is coming together now. I've done the glasswork and given it a rough fill&sand. Then I applied a coat of spray putty which shows up any pin holes and other imperfections. One side effect of angling the scoop back is that the cockpit becomes a bit longer. It's not perfect yet, but I'm liking the new look.

    So the cowl was really nicely moulded, but the scoop was a bit large for my liking. So I did some re-modelling!

    I filled in parts of it with spray foam to give it support. I wasn't too fussed about the quality of the foam because it is all coming out later. Once the foam was set I marked the height I wanted the scoop and took to it with a hacksaw! I hope Mike's not offended....

    I also sloped the front face of the scoop back. The foam will be shaped how I want it, then glassed over. Once done, the foam will be removed from the inside and a small amount of glass laid inside to tie it all together.

    TP motors look pretty good...don't know of any suppliers in the U.S. though.
    How are they compared to the Leos?

Last couple times I was there at 8:30 and John doesn't show until 10am so don't keep up that old drill it's worn out.

    I've got my health together now too

    Who is Jack? What P-sport does he have?

    Scorpion is make in-runners now too. So far only meant for the European guys but, they are boat specific. Just waiting to see what bigger motors they dream up:

    SCORPION
