G'day guys Brad nelson here president of the North Quensland power boat club. I am currently building a new drag boat for a customer it is a 18.5ft tri hull i think it is like your "eliminator hulls" it is air entrapment. we are fitting a 598cui shaffiroff 1100hp pro series engine 890ftpds it is v-drive will have about 45% over gears aiming for 110-115mph out the end of the 1/4mile, but we are unsure on prop selection as there are not many of these things running over here. Any help would be great!!!
Cheers from the land down under!!!

Hey Brad, great to hear the news and from you yes I do remeber you! Might not be able to point you out in a crowd though LOL. Wish I could make the meet in Feb, however I plan to be down for the Australian titles again in March. Would be great to check out the water, maybe if time permits I can fly up and check out the area!

Yea mate that would be great you are more than welcome to stay here with us and show you some NORTH QUEENSLAND hospitality. We where planning to come down for the aust titles this year but have done a bit of damage to the bottom of my boat plus i have just started building this drag boat for a customer up here, and it will take us a while to get it dialled in right so we will take our time and prep' for next year we will hopefully be bringing 4-6 boats down with us for that one. It takes alot of planning and money to go down for them as it is nearly 4,000 km's drive. Feel free to drop me a call 0412 775 402 or my email is shutdown351@hotmail.com
