[sorry I hope I'm not hiijacking anything... but I wanted to post a photo or 2 for credibility] heres one of our older hulls [which by the way is a solar powered hydrofoil]  and heres a very early photo of our newer hull [sorry that was the last photo I took, and that was over 2 years ago]. this is just the beginning of the mold.

the top boat had about 8hp [12 theoretically] and can hit 31mph in a dash configuration [the whole drive system is hotswappable, we have about 6 or 7 different configuations].
the bottom boat, I never piloted. it was way too frickin scary, I added waayyy too much power [but hey thats what they wanted... right??]. but that boat had a 32hp configuration [and was pushing 2000amps at 36volts], so I imagine it was pretty damn quick.

i dont understand the people who buy CF hoods, you think it saves weight? Look at it this way, you save probably what.. 15-20 pounds, given the weight of our cars already and how much power most of us make, 15-20 pounds is equal to like 1-3hp, so your paying 500+ for something that will get you 1-3hp essentially.

It's just for looks for our cars - cars r too heavy to make any difference. If your just going to paint it and all you want is a weight drop from stock hood weight, go ahead with a fiberglass one. I would not have gotten one if I didn't have a dark colored car:
