: That's a boat design we also have in Texas. Here's an old photo....

Thats very interesting. Notice the texan has a shorter table and is going much faster, practicaly hydroplaning that thing. Also notice how the floridian is slouched down and has a look on his face that this thing is going to fail at any moment. The texan on the other hand is sitting pretty and most likely smiling. The texan has much more confidence than the floridian. The floridian has the picture taken from the front, most likely from the bail out boat. The texan on the other hand is from the rear, most likely passing some unexpeting bystandard. The texan definatly has more balls than the foridian.
The dumb thing about this picture is thats it got me thinking about just how simple a boat can be and how I could make a similar craft, like the mouse or flat rat boats (which don't posses legs).
Anyway...
Scott
