Mike quit there about a year ago and got his old job back "making babies". It looks like AquaCraft owns his Grim Racer name now. I wanted to hear the real story from him but he didn't come to Hobart this past year, he went to a model rocket meet instead. I think that it wasn't quite the dream job he expected. Jerry Dunlap started showing up 2 years ago hanging with Gary Preusse.

Anyway, back to the subject at hand. The VS-1 manual was about the only thing I had handy to help this guy set up an OB tunnel boat. There's a lot to learn in it as both Mike and Jerry worked on it. You remember that boat from when Mike was producing them himself under his Power Surge Racing name as the Villain.

In here we get a lot of people asking about what hardware they need to build or finish a boat kit. I wish that we could cover such a big thing in an easy way but with so many hulls types and power choices, it's not easy.

From the way it sounds but can't be certain until we see some shots, I'm hazarding a guess at thinking he may have a Prather hull. Hyperformance, www.hyperprod.com still carries a lot of things for those boats including the radio box and other hardware for it.
