Honey Badger

This is a really neat looking boat Ron. By it's appearance it looks to be a "sit down' style boat. V-bottom/chine walking is fun for those who like "on the edge" racing. It would be very enticing to me if you had built a hydroplane with the same dimensions as this V-bottom. Especially with a Yamato hanging on the back as they are plentiful and relatively inexpensive. If it is indeed a "sit down", you could be on to something here Ron, but I would prefer a hydro. If it is a "kneel down", well, at 62 years of age, my knees just wouldn't take the abuse. It's tough getting old when your mind and heart are young !!

I planned to build six of these and run 302 Yamato motors on them. At this time, I'm concerned that the Yamato is a two stroke and I can't seem to buy another one, I have five.
The Honey badger is the same size, plus 6 inches as a Japanese Gambling boat, but I have made the bottom more like an Allison type pad. I'm "Water Ready" just don't have a chase boat to my *** when I run out of gas!
