DUDE I HAVE TO SHOW YOU GUYS SOMETHING MY GRANDFATHER WAS ON THE COVER BACK IN THE 70'S FOR A BOAT DESIGN! LET ME FIND IT! EDIT: Here's the link! It'll take you directly to the article. If you scroll up to the front cover of the magazine, you'll see my grandfather driving the boat he invented on the TV. Check it out! http://www.popsci.com/archive-viewer?id ... y=ski+hull RE Edit: And just so you all know, we still have a working prototype that I launch sometimes in the summers. The boat is still the best riding vessel I've ever been in! |

That's a pretty clever idea....independent suspension on outriggers. |

Okay, so he started that ski hull design with a remote controlled prototype, on a much smaller scale. Here are some photos. We have it sitting on a table on display in our showroom at our dealership: Attachment: boat1.jpg [ 207.42 KiB | Viewed 1541 times ] Attachment: boat2.jpg [ 209.17 KiB | Viewed 1541 times ] Attachment: boat3.jpg [ 208.71 KiB | Viewed 1541 times ] |
