Interesting looking hull design, What manufacture is that?

~ Side question: I seen Ryan's Skater running those engine air defectors, do they work? from recent pictures I seen from the last OSS race it seems he removed them. Did they act like a wing on car creating down force on the back ?

They made no noticeable difference on my boat, I actually bent one in KW last year when we flipped , that is why they are not on the boat.

Well they looked cool and gave you a little more area for sponsorship stickers. :sifone:

Wait.. You bent one? what were they made out of?

Stainless I believe. They did look really cool on the boat.

Good luck over there Ryan!

My friend was an engineer at a packaging co. and bent them out of thin gauge stainless actually...I need to get another made.

Thanks it should be a fun trip.

You will enjoy it over there Ryan. Not sure if you have been to Dubai or AD before but its an eye opener. Having been back and forth for years I love the area and make sure Gary takes you to the Barasti Bar at the Le Meridian Mina Seyahi. In the old days it used to be where all the Emirates flight attendants used to hang out

Wow. Now that's a boat race!!!

 

[cigdaze]

Those cats look cool as heck! What's the make of the ones with the inward leaning hullsides?

 

[H2O Full Throttle]

Not sure but they race them in Australia as well. Typically they get between 28 and 32 boats for each X Cat race.
