Went to single engine, lost transmissions with Bravo instead of TRS, took out all three tanks up front and installed light weight fuel tank behind cockpit, Built a 25 pound full length honeycomb engine hatch which goes from transom to the back of the two light weight racing seats with two inch aluminom monocot tubed cockpit, Full length 3/16 aluminum dash panel with six inch aluminum deck panel between seating and engine hatch, only a 4x6 ft honeycomb cockpit floor, deleted everything else that makes a stock cockpit, no back seat or heavy bolsters, light weight single engine layup, purchasing mostly aluminum engine components and exhaust. Lowered cockpit floor, light core built in fairing, very light but from the cockpit to the engine mounts, everything ties together. And still going.

Original WMMS Radio Thnuder Buzzard P100
I was the original owner of the WMMS Thunder Buzzard P100 and miss GLOPBRA like crazy. It was the 1st Innovation 24 that was built with Kevlar and unfortunately, being the 1st is not always the best since we were plagued by broken stringers and delamination. It time to reconnect with Bobby Nielson from Eastlake, Ohio who was my navigator and never he let me down..

I know this is an old post but my Dad, Ben Gommel owned and raced Piranha in the late 70s and early 80s. We owned Cuyahoga Boat & Engine in Cleveland and hosted several Glopra races. The boat had 4 Mercury outboard motors. This was the original Boar Hog. My Dad and I were just discussing how the boat would run with 3 of the new Mercury 600s.
