      Honestly, I want to put a turn fin on her and make her turn ovals.

            I pulled the drive dog off, and look what was behind it.

                    It's a sharp looking boat. Are you going to change the paint scheme?
                    Any mods planned?

                      Very cool looking rigger. I'm not looking to start a rules debate with this question, but is it legal in both US racing organization's?

                        For SAW, I'd like to think so based on this...

                          I was kind of wondering about that statement they made. I'm very surprised we did not see pictures of that running around on the forums after it was raced here. Also there have been changes to the rules.

                            I saw this in person and it is sweet. Razor sharp edges, even dimensions, and I can't wait to run the video camera!

                            Nice find Diego!
