Saw this a couple days ago.. It is a neat old boat. Kind of makes me want to build a vintage racer.. Glen L sells Crackerbox plans which altho their design does not qualify for sanctioned events, can be streached to use a Velvet drive transmission, so they actually gain forward neutral and reverse. Many old race boats ( Crackerbox is a common class ) do not use a transmission for F-N-R, and they are direct drive. start and go
