Guess we should rename this boat as the "International Woody" it's been built everywhere.

Can't you start where you are DD so we can add another country to the list

Status: online 		I made the sides higher mainly to stop the water coming over the back when you slowdown and stop ....... did you glass over the outside of the hull ???? or just painting it ?? do you have any photos of yours post them here if you have

yeah ive been living in Oz for around 5 years.... easy to get work here. not too many people here want to do it.

Status: offline 		No it's not a copy of a woody . I designed this boat 2 years ago . Never saw a woody until this morning . Yes the paint job is very expensive . I did some fiberglass work for a motorcycle painter and asked him to paint my boat for payment . The flames actually turn different colors as you walk around it )

Status: online 		coming along nicely that looks like a Talon engine i know it says MAC but i had a talon that looked "exacly" the same....

bit of advice if you didnt know already; dont free rev the snot out of those engines without load on them....they ****e themselves pretty quickly.....only rev them in the water with the prop on... i went through 2 talons and 2 ryobis before i learnt that lol
