The U-37 Miss Peters & May in final 2010 form
With extraordinary effort from everyone on the team, the U-37 Miss Peters & May is ready to hit the road tomorrow morning! It’s been a VERY long week, with the boat coming together in a pretty spectacular fashion.
From nothing more than a primed hull on two weeks ago, the U-37 is ready to go for a win in the first race of the 2010 H1 Unlimited season in Madison, IN on July 4th. Here’s a small sample of photos showing our progress:
These images also don’t do the paint job any justice – the Gary Ebert designed Miss Peters & May will be unmistakable on the race course, and you really will have to see it in person to appreciate how beautiful the boat really is!
Scott & Shannon will once again post daily updates from the trip to Madison beginning Sunday afternoon, and we should be rolling into the pits by Thursday. Be sure to follow the U-37 Miss Peters & May starting tomorrow through to the final 2010 H1 Unlimited race in Doha, Qatar. We sincerely look forward to seeing all of our fans at every stop!
COME RACE WITH US!

200MPH beanbag toss...
Work continues on the world’s fastest and most expensive beanbag game (AKA the U-37 Miss Peters & May), with the right side deck having been added, multiple brackets and doublers fabricated and installed, and electrical system (wiring and computer) checked and ready to install.
The new paint scheme concept has been delivered and looks REALLY cool, and we’ll unveil it in due time… :- )

Sam, JW and Dave making a mess...
Work continued on structural repairs, with Dave and Sam removing all the internal skidfin braces in preparation for extra stiffeners, Walt adding landings for the starboard side deck replacement, while JW & Shaun chopped up the port side revealing a fair amount of rotten and crumbling braces, brackets and even some seawater left over from Qatar (not a good thing…) Pyro and Dave will add a doubler to starboard side engine bay tomorrow to finish that section, then after replacement of some internal braces, the rest of the starboard side deck can go on.(Continue to see pictures)

Scott & JDub contemplate repairs...
Tonight the U-37 was placed on the jig and we started to remove all of the rudder and skidfin brackets, cowling brackets, steering brackets, cockpit windows, and all remaining hardware on the boat. Scott thought most of the internal weaknesses in the boat were hiding underneath the right side deck, so out came the saws and most of the right side of the boat was opened up.
Once the larger portions of deck were removed, it was easier for Scott and JW to see what needs to be done, and much more will need to be removed to allow for replacement of some major structural components. This should get started on Wednesday, and a prioritized list of repairs will be made that should keep the crew busy for a week or two. (Continue to see pictures)
