Wow. That's going to be a fun ride.
It'll be faster with that Gary S edition windshield! |

Quality of work looks very high! Can't imagine it's not going to fly... but of course a trimmable outdrive is cheating.

When you have gone as far as you can go mechanically, aerodynamics is your next step. My vote is in to bring it to Green Lake!
I don't think it's cheating Tim just taking advantage of the "rules", cheating would be like putting a out drive in a boat that didn't have one or rebranding another boat. Doesn't matter anyway if it does not show at an official event for independent verification.

Not really. The advantage is the angle of the prop in relationship to the hull. This is very evident with the ability of an I/O being capable of trimming the lower unit. A DD or VD inboard the prop shaft angles down so there are losses with thrust at the downward angle. The down side of an IO is all the gear losses in HP. Jeff, It sure is looking good!  I'm anxiously awaiting the water test.

Looks great!!!
Now all it needs is a tower mostly so Pete can run one of his competition tubes behind it. He likes the rope up high for dope air.

Don't forgot to take a video, preferably from the shore or somewhere outside the boat. I think I can speak for most that we want to hear this thing!

Jeff, you have video of it running? If it's video, the only way to easily share it, is to upload to Youtube first, then share the youtube link on here.
