Steve Curtis Built a 30' Tandem single canopy. Errol Lanier Had one (He may still have it). The No Limits team from Cali had one..Most where powered through an Arneson Drive. I thought they needed a sterndrive to achieve positive trim. Either way there's a few of them out there and when you finally get it dialed in, it should whip up on the others. it's a cool looking boat also...

Lavey will build you one based on the 2750/ 28 EVO.
I didnt hear that they "used Skater" ...maybe.
Curious where you heard that?
Likely they used the same supplier.
Without spending serious money these things will have the optical clarity of a fun house and require correct cleaning or they will haze up quickly.

What happened (According to Peter) is that they asked Skater if they could use a slash for their race boat, a one time deal. Turns out they took it and put it into production.
Peter gave them a splash that fit the Shields shape so they just went and go the plastic on their own.

please remember ??? it has to be a dedicated molded hull and deck with a canopy added to the deck,,that is very important, not to miss lead anyone into building a oneoff,,for all the grey liners,,, this has been addressed and will be put in more clear to understand in writing rule book,:USA:

Wasn't there a few A boats other than Phantoms with canopys? I think I remeber an add for an Infinity with an Inline canopy.
Also need to get Ben back out racing.

So it must be a boat like the SUperboat 30 Y2K pictured here? But add a canopy configuration to the current cockpit?
