Default Budget Racer

Reel, don't get in a hurry there. I need to start saving up and figuring out what I am going to need in material. I intend to make it into a speedboat racer. So many of the speed boats I see on the water are very similar to this 20' hull at the waterline. Reel has some great pictures of the old T-craft racers in his gallery. This one is not going to be a showpiece but it is going to run. I will get pictures this time. First thing is a new transom, stringers and floor. Lightweight composite and possibly vacuum bagged. Then a new front deck from the bow extending back 2 to 3' beyond the existing console. Big Shrimpin and Ferm caught me testing the water on another site. The hull will need a pad of sorts to make it more stable. I want 75 mph or more. It sounds crazy but I need a project and I have the speed bug again. Function over form, she won't be going to the painter this time. I am excited and look forward to getting started but I know it is destined to be a long term project.
