Here it is. In the water for testing and setup on Saturday before the race on Sunday. Quite a few bugs to work out.

[mdkeywest]

Cool ! Thank you very much . I,d love to hear how well they like the piston power .

[Ratickle]

Well, so far they don't like guardian mode. (But it probably saved their engines.)

Yea I just read the article on their debut in St. Clair .

Great team I just want to see them succeed . I hope they Experiment with piston power for a while . The Rumble , and the experience of those two should make some us happy standing on the beach , listening when they go by . ( big Smile )

The boat is in Michigan City. Looks to be a bit rough after the mess that went through last night.

Who Made the Hull, I keep reading and nobody states who built the old Martimo boat.

Ahhh, this is where it gets a bit iffy, but I'll give you what I've dug up.


I am almost positive the boat Geico is campaigning now is actually a Maritimo hull designed by Peters. However, before Maritimo campaigned thier own hulls, built where they build their yachts I believe, they campaigned both a Victory hull and a Tencara hull.

So, I'm not 100% positive, but almost sure. How's that for a political answer?

[Ratickle]

From a member who should know;

That is a 1999 (probably 98) Victory hull, that Victory won a Class 1 championship in then sold it to Maritimo. Michael Peters designed, Victory built. (don't forget, that was the time frame when Gary Stray worked at Victory, no doubt a positive for them with this boat now).

So it is the last Victory hull they ran. Maybe they haven't campaigned one of their own hulls yet? I know they were saying they would.
