boat looks awsome! best of luck guys!
I want more interior picss, are those seats hard mounted ? There is a new suspension system that works well in automotive style seats, it really takes the edge off of bad landings, not that Randy and Glenn have many bad landings! lets see what electronic goodies are in there? You guys running P3 OPA as well as OSS ?

Today we take the new Typhoon boat for a little testing. I guess it's going to be Bertel and I in the cockpit

Allen (Screamin Eagle) is bringing his boat for a little testing with us (rescue boat).

Only two weeks to get this boat ready. We can't let Randy down, there are a lot of racers gunning for him this year!

Jim: Hard mounted. I doubt a suspension system would work out, there isn't enough room. As it is , Turmel hit the roof with his helmet, so will Glenn.

The seats feel MUCH better than the sit-up F1q kind. No bangs that go up your spine.

Rick had a great ice cooled air system in that boat. A compartment on the deck that he dumped bags of ice into before a race - ductwork forced air through the ice packed compartment and into the cockpit. Very creative.

The Scorpian Phantom boat had an actual air conditioning system in it......the rest of us just sweated our ass off.

Thank you Phantom and Mark, If you guys have a bone to pick with Bertal please start a different thread to do it on. I asked him to start this post to thank Grant and all the other people that worked so hard to make it happen. Lets not trash this one please. Edit out ALL the stuff with ANYTHING other than my boat in it .

Thank You Randy,
Glenn and Grant

After we had retrieved the boat from the claws of the evil boat robbers, we made a quick stop at Lightning Bay Marine in St. Pete.

... where "Awesome" Andy fitted a half inch spacer to our drive. This will be tested today.

Lou Anne and Allen Campbell of the Eagles are on their way up from Sarasota with their boat. Once they arrive, we'll hit the water.
