[QUOTE="sparkbr, post: 206232, member: 1060"] So, I've had an interest in these little boats for the past couple years. The class they run in is called Stock Outboard Racing. They force you to run a factory outboard so that the race is all about who is the better driver rather than who has the deepest pockets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zrUMcHRGBM&feature=related The other day I got to thinking, I have enough aluminum to build one. After some researching, I found all the rules for the hulls to be legal to race. I emailed the chief inspector to ask if aluminum would be acceptable instead of the standard wood hull, and he waid it would be. So, last saturday afternoon I put most of one together. I still have to add a pipe as a crown molding around the cockpit, finish out the bow, and add my steering and throttle, then she'll be ready for the motor. In the entry class, the entire rig with the driver has to weigh 345lbs minimum, and with a stock 15hp merc or omc, they're getting into the mid 50's in competition [ATTACH type="full" alt="1.jpg"]25138._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="2.jpg"]25139._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="3.jpg"]25140._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="4.jpg"]25141._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="5.jpg"]25142._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="6.jpg"]25144._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="7.jpg"]25145._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="8.jpg"]25146._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="9.jpg"]25147._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="10.jpg"]25148._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="11.jpg"]25149._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
