When the term, "doublers" is used, does this mean doubling up damaged honeycomb sections, and if so, the hull gains weight and a semi-normal result as the season goes on? In any event, great job BLR crew & company!
As retired Air Force Aircraft Structural Maintenance the term doubler to me referred to a beef up. Depending on the doubler material used one could actually make a repair plate that is stronger but weighs less than the original part. For example you could use carbon fiber to beef up plywood....carbon weighs less and is stronger. Doublers add weight but again depends on what's used as the repair plate. Also it's not common to double up phenolic or aluminum honeycomb in the sense of just gluing a new piece over the bad. Generally and I'd hope these guys did this, honeycomb is cut out then splice in a new piece with a double over the top. Honeycomb although strong can become very weak if compromised. Fun job once you get down to it. I'd jump at the opportunity to work in a boat shop doing this work.
They should find the threshold on speed that will prevent them from flipping, or put another elevator in the back so it turn opposite of the front one the help keep the nose down.
Nah, These boats are designed to dance on the edge. It's how they get speed. Let the drivers decide how much they want to push it. Don't mechanically limit the boat so all they have to do it keep the pedal floored.
From blown over one race to P2 the next, great turnaround.
Well done guys, keep after it!
Awesome group from the owner's to the entire team.
Amazing work! Love watching these brave pilots run in this sport.
That's True 'Aerobatics' from a Plane 🤗
... with 3 point landing 👍
Great video guys! Thank you for giving us the good content!!
Taylor, good to see you're still at it, and doing excellent work bud.

Appreciated - Always wanted to know what was involved in patching e'm up. Looking forward t'ill next race. Good PR. From Tallahassee Fl
Those little squares on the deck should be turned into “NASCAR flaps”
Love these types of videos!
I love Dustin. I'm good friends with his dad Mark!!
I wonder how much weight you added with doublers and such in rebuild?

A 2 week turnaround! Wow that fast at rebuilding it.
Dang, hope dudes back is OK? Looks like his spine took a blow from Mike Tyson on that landing.
I don't know I'm just putting it out there but in that flip I noticed that the wing that is in between the sponsons had a big role in that flip
Salut houaa un looping avec une bête de course c'est pas courant et ça a dû faire une sacrée surprise au pilote 👍😋😜😁👶🛴🇨🇵
