BY JOHN FINCH
The Wild Thing is a 3.5cc (.21ci) glow-powered mono that can win races anywhere.
With a mono, it's all about balance. Aerodynamics as well as hydrodynamics play a part in making a boat work correctly to reach the speeds necessary to be competitive. The 32-inch Wild Thing, named after my friend Mary "wild thing" Fletcher, is perfectly balanced for rough and calm water, and it will handle any of the new high-powered 3.5cc inboard engines on the market today.
