Status: offline 		I'm still working on props, pipes and set-up for this boat. I've got it running 50 mph now but going to try one more pipe modification before painting it. I have all the paint supplies ready to go, just working on the speed. I'll update as soon as I start paint work.

Status: offline 		Well done the KAAMA looks great I'll take 10% of the credit lol! This is way more than just a paint job it’s a true scale masterpiece. What a fine tribute to a female powerboat driver and legend. Betty Cook did not just showed up with the guys on race day she actually dominated the mostly all male macho sport of offshore power boat racing. No doubt she would be proud, truly a wonderful piece of 1970s powerboat racing history by any powerboat racing enthusiasts’ standards! You just made that hull nearly priceless.
