Cool, thank you.
I hope some in US can start drive Circuit class GT-30 also. :)

We need a boat like that in the US. Looks like a modern Allison 13 footer if they would have kept building small race boats. With the current economy and gas prices, a fast
fun boat with a 30 horse motor would be a lot of fun. I used to race a Glasspar G3
in the late 60's with a stock 65hp 4cyl Merc. The Allison had just come out and I couldn't
catch them. I'm restoring a G3 right now and my nephew just bought a 13' Allison with a
60 hp looper on it. That boat is a lot of fun around 50mph.

Is this not a junior class ?!

Tell that to Colin Jelf multiple World F2 Champion and Malcolm Goodman 2009 Qatar F1 driver both have raced this class Nationally in the UK this year and provided fantastic racing while doing so.

[FrenchPhil]

Diminishing budgets in F1/F2 apparently ... ;-)

[danwaa]

Your boat inspired me so much that I had to built one myself.
Thank You for the inspiring and pioneering effort done for the rest of us.

I'd be very proud too if I'd built that myself, well done. What sort of construction?

[50hptiller]

i like that.... if they have a class like that over here i would have me one for sure......cool little boats

[danwaa]

We built them in FRP, polyester resin and bi-axial fabric throughout. The Pad and floor is 3/4" foam core for better stiffness and absorption. Down the line I will make them even lighter using graphite fiber. It is expensive here.
We are running 33hp Yamato racing engines and home built, stripped and soupt up to 30hp a 25 Yamaha stock. We do not have any emission control here yet, per say.

I like your boats, they don't seem to bobby horse, probably cause U are running 50 hp.
How fast do you go? If I may ask.
We are still braking in our new Yamato, so currently only getting 80% of the power.

When you want a boat I can make you one or more. I do it currently for all my friends here.
Just tell me where to ship it. Got the mold, designed it in Rhino and build the plug within 1/16". Took me about 3 month to get the first one out. Now only more or less than a week.
Cheers, Daniel

Cool, is it any interest about the GT-30 race class in US?

Yes there is. I used to live in Hawaii. Look up Bob Dylan, Minesotta,and others.

Now I live in the Philippines. More hot year round and 7000 islands.
My friends here got me interested to built them a V-pad small boat.
During my research I realized that you already have the best boats worldwide.
So I designed one myself in Rhino 3D (Cad-Cam), built the plug than pulled the mold.
The one you have seen is the first one which we launched successfully last weekend.
Now even more people want one, so we can have our own race club here in the Philippines. You can visit us any time, and race us, hehehe. Especially when there is winter in your country. Life here is good and cheep. Philippinos are loving people
