Would I kill myself?

Garry, did that fellow survive the landing?
Must have been spectacular!

Prepare to be boarded!

quote wannabe outboard guy:

With that snow plow front on it I don’t think you could ever get any real speed out it. It’s as hydrodynamic as a brick.

Ah, but it’s the bottom that counts

and the bottom’s a tunnel hull

Thats the saddest excuse for a tunnel hull I have ever seen. Look at the depth and width of the sponsons. Even if you could get it to ride on them it would be like a brick on a frozen pond. It would never turn.

Many different hull designs have been used to get high speed with limited horse power. . .

Zephyr racers have been particularly innovative. here is Elaine Suter.

Greg Sefton with a styrofoam scow.

Tim Erwin went to great lengths to cut down on weight by shortening his boat.

Some think the hull doesn’t matter if it’s not in the water.

Some say it’s the motor that counts – A class "A" Evinrude racer . . . 🙄
