word of warning about out of date harnesses JR...

not always a good idea... harness have a lifespan and that relates to the amount of stretch is in the belts... the less stretch the belts have by being old or been stretched a few times from crashes or rollovers etc then the more likley it is that the belts will do you an injury instead of saving you... belts in a crash can strech around 8 inches in a big crash to take the force out of the crash...

new belts are cheap really I heard of a 5 point set for just over the $100 mark....

I can have a look up here for some prices if you want...

 you guys invented a perfect redneck sport.  All you need is a boat, a big motor and the desire to do something that might end badly.

JR,

I looked at building one of these over the summer break. Got the drawings etc but ended up building a trailer for a boat instead. Be keen to hear your progress. You know others with them? A lot more fun if had a few of them. You got the engine? I looked for a few wrecked motorcycles on turners etc.

You going to build from scratch or buy in the axle kits etc.

Cheers
