Yes...but I'm more concerned about the reversal in gravity.

That's very cool.  You've been working on that for a while now right Tom?

That does look nice Tom... but small behind your truck. Maybe a different tow vehicle next?  ;D
A baby trailer too. Special!

It's a boat I built for my grandson to play with at the lake. We named her "Miss Chiff" and she was launched last weekend for the first time. I ran great and I couldn't be happier, it even managed to throw a good wake at full speed and she floated right on her lines at anchor.

I for one would like to see some more pics of that baby as you built it or in the water. I saw some at the Old Wood boat show on Minnetonka last year. I think others would like to see too.

Was it a kit? Or built from somebody's plans? Regardless it's very very cool. More pics please!

Y'know I sometimes entertain thoughts of putting my old GlenL 8' Hydro plans/templates to use. But then I think not ...

It looks a lot like the Yellow Jacket Red rebuilt a couple years ago. I got to see it when we picked up the GT160. Very nice boat. Looks like plywood. Love to see the build pictures.

Very cool Tom!  What did you power it with?  I would love to see more of it too.  Did you get the CV-19 figured out?  Hope it pumps more water out than in these days!!  :o
