Gerry, that unit looks kick assss ! Guys the wind screen's exposed edge is rounded in shape a complete 180 degrees there are absolutely no sharp or right angle cuts around its total length port to starboard. G.A. Weston has his eyes on you !

Default use air not H2O

Come on guys this conversation, currently is all about lightning the boat, reducing weight and keeping water cooling out of the picture. Please catch on to the direction of where G. is going. By eliminating water as a coolant in any way shape or form he could ultimately reduce the boats displacement by nearly 500 lbs. and by doing so potentially increase its top end. The new coolant system will eliminate the external plumbing requirement that a BB blown engine requires for cooling, which is currently already installed in the boat. PS: with the new system the boat has been tested conservatively this past Thursday at just over 102 MPH with good engine oil temperature readings. YA WHO -

It was in St Pete Worlds 1999 or 2000.....36 Eliminator " Roll Off" F3 Boat.....hook and spin........very violent. My background in racing and mfg taught me in a worst case scenario you want a clean dash , etc during a violent ejection. Just trying to help and this thread is a great one!
