For those that don't know, we are going to lengthen the drivers stand from 16 feet to 32 feet long. It is 6 feet wide. There will be more room for drivers and the CD/judges. We are also adding a second stair way. A January thaw allowed us to start early....

Looks like the island may be gone for good. Craig good job on the expansion. I hope you had help. Week by week the pond is filling. HJ we got a Jan thaw early this year. Winter will be back next week. I will get my ice skates out soon.

The weather sucks for the skiers, but I sure am glad the snow is mostly gone on my property....

Here it is folks... The latest addition to the Zippkits lineup... This is a pre production kit of the V-Box.... Available soon... Took a day to build to this point.. Much like the A-Box, with a V bottom... Nice build, thanks Joe, I am honored to be amongst the first to build this.

Fast question on the V-Box, what engine was it designed to use? I have a G230 that I could drop into one, if it's got the muscle to push it.

It is the same size as the A-BOX, probably designed for a 23-26cc gaser with 5"mounts... I have no instructions yet as they were not printed at the time I recieved the kit...Propcircles had me mount a mod.23cc in his A-BOX I built for him, so I am guessing your engine should work.

HJ..a G230 should work just fine, especially for a sport boat. There is a little more case around it so fitting may be a little different than a PUM engine. I used to stick the G230 jugs on the 230PUM so I could get a 4 port transfers and about 5.5hp with a pipe. Even if left in its original 'air cooled' configuration they make decent power for a sport boat. When Warehouse Hobbies started using Zen's in their Enforcer ARR deep vee's (46 inch length) they used the G230 and G260 air cooled engines and they would do 40ish right out of the box. Roger C.

Yes the twin has alum boom tubes...and Joe sent me home from meeting with the inserts for sponsons... I think he made them up for this twin rigger for the shows the night before the meeting... they will be avail. soon... as far as size,O/D is .5 or 1/2" hole for inserts..boom tubes are alum. and are 3/8" O/D... Hope this is what you were looking for..
