Yeh Mate, Dargle is possible, but we have a shit load of testing to do first.
new engines, new boat, basically start over....if all goes good we can be there.

Bruce, is the capsule not attached to the deck at all, is it possible to post a pic from the back of the boat. look forward to having a good look at Taree, great to see people moving forward in the safety of the sport.

Thanks for the update Bruce!

Looks great and as one of my favourite circuit boats, and a South Aussie, can't wait to see it back on the water.

Good luck with the testing. Hope it all goes smoothly.

One question, have you moved the capsule back in the hull at all? Original photos showed capsule encroaching on the deck. It may be an illusion but update photos give the appearance that it has moved back a bit. Could be just the relaying of the deck after fitting capsule giving that impression.

Lastly, are you planning on running a wing at all or waiting until after initial testing before going down that road.

Good luck!

Cheers Haych 8-)

Thanks for your comments guys, Yes the capsule is glassed to the deck from underneath,and to the bearers. I'll post some more shots in the near future....
The capsule is in the same spot as before its just that we've changed the shape of the combing on the deck
to blend in with cell better, also each side of the cell will be two fill in pieces(still making moulds for those)
to give the boat an overall "smooth "look.
No wing yet Haych, step by step remember....but its possible we'll try one.
