Some photos and footage of the special and rare cvx16 Roger Clarke U.K. built. 1984. Lovely machine and so glad to get her running again. Still prop testing but managed a 66 mph gps. Certainly more to come from her on a calmer day.
Some photos of some other very special boats. Some of them, I’m sure you guys in the US will recognise

Thanks zool. Wasn’t very brave with the trim on that occasion. Think she’d be around 60 gps there. At just about 60 and just over, she gets quite hairy…especially in U.K. choppy waters and lots of other quick boats around and causing wake. She seemed to settle out on the pad in calmer waters later on. Kept level with even the couple of U.K. built race boats there. She’s still over the rpms as she is now. More prop pitch to try next time. Definitely a 70 mph machine in the right conditions, I’d think.
