Makes sense considering the boat / hull type, perhaps on some laps they were running with a lighter driver and didn't feel the need to add the extra weight ?
Interesting info about adding the 200 lb plate.
Thanks

Basically the bottom of the boat is a pad design. When on the pad the boat has the ability to take a better set and be faster, even with the added weight. These boats move around a lot, as OB001 has said, it helps balance the boat and keep it on the pad.

I just think Jim (in the 512 boat) didn't want anyone telling him how to drive(kidding, Jim and I are friends)! I do have one photo somewhere of his boat "laying over" from a swell.
The boys are good friends and likely did it for fun as much as anything else, but I don't have personal knowledge of the handling of that Hallett. In the past I think the race has included a "ski race boat" class that required two people in the boat, never read the final rules this year.

This year Div4 was the ski race class. Rules per the NSWRA rule book. Passenger optional.

Passengers aren't optional in ski races? Where were the dang skiers?
Thanks Dennis, I got tired of reading about controversy, so since I was not involved with a boat, I elected not to read the stuff. In the past the E12 boat has often given people "rides", if you can call it that.
