    After 4 years of testing and beating on the orginal shorten Alpha with little over 640 hp, and a few hard nitrous passes, and lending it to differnt people so they could try it. I final had a upper gear failure. A part of the gear tooth broke off and took ever thing else out. Over the winter I came up with some new stuff for the upper and lower that should increase strength by 25%. Im going to up the HP this year to over 700 hp to see if it will handle it. Should be interesting.

    Here are some pics of my old 22. It was known as the Joker back in the day. Mobilemercman would have a lot of info on this boat. He was the guy who rigged it. The boat lives in the Bahamas and was for sale on OSO but have not seen it for a while. This boat was awesome and took everything I put in thru and then some.

    I glassed bulkheads in, foamed and glassed the 80 fuel tank in and rigged it so I could not break it.

    Thanks Mikey

    as soon as we find an extra 20k laying around...Vin works on it, on occasion, but the further he gets into it, the more sh*t he finds..it'll be completely new by the time it's done.
