HBJET i think if you look in a earlier post under htm replys to rumors, there is a post about the wood plug sighting at the HTM factory .i think the boys at htm are SICK AND TIRED of this .

An HTM plug sighting? Do you think I can catch that on the Discovery Channel? I don't think they would have it, but wouldn't every boat mfg have at least a picture?
ULTRA28, do you still have pictures of your 27 Shadow plug? You tooled that one from scratch right, since I've never seen another cat like yours. Let me ask you, would you post a picture of it, or would someone be able to splash your cat from the wood plug pictures?

I think I remember reading in Hot Boat that Ultra's plugs are destroyed under the supervision of John West. It's been a while since I read this and it may have been another manufacturer/owner.
Here's my serious question,
Can't molds be made directly from finished boats? In other words, if someone was so inclined can't they just buy a boat they wish to splash and build the mold from it?

Yes, Jason. It's called slashing. Ask HBJet- he seems obsessed by it. Is there a "Splashing" Forum for him to join?
Hmmmm...."HBSplash"?

I'm not obsessed by it, I'm just waiting for proof. Someone challenging me to a race, or looking at there HTM which was made a year ago is far from proof. I've asked HTM to post a picture of there wood plug, I get, come on by our shop to look at the boats were making today. Then I get, we can't because someone might copy it. Well, if they did, that would be (1) amazing and (2) dumb since the original plug had to be re-tooled for the hull to perform as it does today. No Damit, I'm not, and I mean NOT obsessed!
HBjetttttttttt
haha!

Hey HBJet- 2 quick questions:
1. In the big picture, does it really matter?
2. Why isn't the prop on the front of the outdrive?

HH, (1) All I'm doing is wondering why HTM would say they don't splash there boat, then in the next sentence say if it looks like another boat, it probably is. Well, There bottom sure looks like a Warlock bottom, so I called them out on it, and it seems impossible to get any proof, other then a challenge to race, and a shop tour. Well, I don't see the harm in posting a wood plug picture (do you?) so if they really want to put this thing to bed, that is the best way to do it, and anyone who may bring up this topic again, there is the picture to shut them up. I'm just wondering why it would take this long? Do they have a picture?
As for the second question, Ask RD.

Don't get me started on the prop on the front of the outdrive shit again... http://free.***boat.net/ubb/frown.gif Mercruiser needs to wake up and smell the coffee on that one..
As far as molds/plugs whatever... I don't really care, all that I care about is Mr.Pumps offered me a Wicked Fast ride (perhaps another record setter? http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif ya know me being in the boat makes it faster right? http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) so I'm gathering up some safety equipment and hopefully I won't get killed... Dam I just thought of something If I got killed in an HTM that would be the ultimte Irony in my life... http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
