Gooy,
Thanks for setting up the balloting procedure. BTW, it should be "their boats:" Sorry, but us old retired school teachers just cannot help ourselves.

Congrats to all who finished the "Build Challenge." Great looking boats.

I was figuring we could give the poll 1 week and we could end the voting, so 05/17/08 will be the last day to vote for the build challenge. Please if you haven't voted take the time and look at the builds and cast a vote on your favorite build. Thanks to all that participated in the build challenge it was alot of fun

To make things easier, how about every person that has a boat in the contest submit a shot or three.

Congrats Racer504 !!!


Looks like you Won the Build Challenge.
You did an awesome job showing and explaining and repairing your build with very clear and descriptive pictures. Congrats to all that participated and all that finished, alot of people think the art of building a boat from plans or a kit is slowly dieing out (but we proved them wrong). Again, Thank You Everyone for participating we will have to do this again in the fall when the water gets HARD.


Paul


Racer504............................. Is the WINNER of the Build Challenge !!!

Thank You! (Me taking a bow) That was fun and interesting. Never tried anything like that before. Thanks for all the nice comments. To top that off, one of the new Eliminator 3's placed first in B sport tunnel and an Eliminator 2 placed second at Evansville this past weekend. I placed 7th (I think). Just couldn't keep it running. Another friend of mine was also in there somewhere with an E3. He couldn't miss the bouys. I think he hit all 8 of them at one time or another! For James, who took first place, it was his first boat race ever!! He had never even seen a race before this weekend and had never driven around bouys before open water on Friday. The conditons were terrible for tunnels. High winds and rough water really hurt the big names so if you had the patience to deal with the rough water you had an advantage. Thanks again guys. It was fun. Mike
