That was fun to watch- I love the way those guys bang each other. If you like that stuff there are lots of pix of the Honda series over on flickr.

The SOB guys were all talk and no action. If they will ever show up and race, it will be at the OPA race in Long Island on the 26th.

I built the first 8 boats, back in 1999, using my Extreme 21 sportsboat, after the first season, we decided not to build anymore for Honda, so Steve borrowed my moulds and built the next batch!
Here a pic of one from the first season.

And you panzies can't handle a little chine walk.
Hell, they were RUB-RAIL WALKING at times, AND NEVER LET OFF!!!
I can see why the Ocke-Manerfelt (sp) designed boats would have advantages in that type of racing. When the boat is layed over on its side, the wing can act as a rudder and you can keep steering!
That was awesome.
