Brand New P550 Crackerbox

Well... The ole girl had a good run, but she just can't keep up with the big M&D Power built by Tony Costantino. The ole' wood 550 now sits on top of the shop until I have time to replace the keel, battons, frames, and bottom.

I contacted Tom Patterson a few months ago about a new boat he had laid up. Tri Directional glass on the sides & Deck, carbon fiber bottom with a balsa core. The new boat is SOLID. I am heading to Vegas this weekend and picking up the new boat. More pics to follow

Cool deal. I wouldn't mind getting a test ride in a cracker box sometime. Years ago someone mentioned something about me being a passenger in races, but wasn't sure I trusted the driver!

Awesome new boat Andrew! Can't wait to watch her fly! Oh, and you can take Obnoxious out twice because I'll pass on ever sitting in one of those crazy machines!

You are more than welcome to come out to Irvine when we test in March or Arpil. They are a blast to drive. I hate riding though!
