It's great to read on threads about gas OB's and IB's...thanks Australia,UK ,New Zealand, South Africa,etc. for keeping interest going for those who really dig the tunnel classes...we are few !!! Now, I must vent a bit about the good ole' USA... WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU !!! I have pushed outboards from the Fuji engines / K&B's (in all the classes) to gas tunnels for over 45 years ! The nitro hulls are still on the dockets, although FEW, and the OB classes have dwindled away to a handful...even though there are "hot spots" here and there. Gas OB's just haven't taken off here in the US. I have many theories ( too numerous to equate here) as to the lack of interest.
Well fellow boaters...let's get a good, thoughtful, intelligent recourse going here..now..even though you may think what you have to say doesn't apply in this area...the more we talk about it, the more it may become REALITY !!!!
