now that's rodeo!

makes me wanna take the deck plates off my viper and go find some big holes!!

does not having deck plates on have something to do with being able to pull off enders like that?! My gut tells me no, but a lot of those guys dont have em and you mentioned it too so... whats the dealio?

The deck plates were removed to create a nice scoop for pulling enders, correct? Makes enough sense to me. Maybe some testing is in order, once it gets a little warmer, of course.

if asking about the white with wood gunwhales, that was Dale Johnson - who indeed won that year.
if the white with Swatch, that was Claude Stahel , and there were also a couple other white Mohawks
BTW that was EJ in the golden R-lite Mohawk

as for the sans-deck-plates on the wood trimmed boat - Dale's,...

there's was not really a good way (except steaming) of putting anything else on, but the original plastic. ...
not sure about the effect (pro-or-con)

I could probably figure out what year it was that I took these but it's escaping me at the moment.

How much weight could one save by going to wood gunnels?

Just wonderin

about 10lbs difference.
but it feels like more.
My first Viper had aluminium and vinyl and my current one is white ash (I believe) and I will NEVER GO BACK.
Plus the wood is Beautiful.
