Paul, you aren't gonna b'leive this one, but......
....I'm trying to knock together a "Baby Gar"---a 19-22' retro water-rocket. "Gentlemen's Racers" from the 1930's were hitting 65-75 mph. My plan is to get enough c-fiber from a Rhode Island boat builder and lay up a little jewel with set-backs on the topsides. Quarter-inch mahogany goes into these set-backs or in-lay spaces above the water-line and across the decks. It'll look like a vintage wooden boat, including plumb bow, chrome-steel cutwater and transom stop. In goes the tuned 351C---and awaaaaaaaayyy we go! Good winter project---terror on the 'igh seas in the summer of '04!
