We contact famous endurance and offshore racer Mike Follmer to find out more about his R&D prepared Yamaha FZR boats that were specifically tuned for Mark Hahn 300 race. Therefore according to Follmer this was the basic set up: Stock Yamaha hull, with a stock pump equipped with a Skat Trak re piched by Bill Chapin- impeller. The engine was equipped with an R&D R4 intercooler with a pop off valve, an R&D air filter, an R&D C1 Supercharger wheel, R&D Powershot, R&D enhanced cooling kit, and an R&D reprogrammed ECU. The hull set up featured R&Ds intake grate, plate, sponsons (deep blades) and steering nozzle, a Lee Manvell rear seat unit while the main seat was modified by Hydro-Turf. The boat featured a quick fill fuel set up on stock gas tank and the engine was fed with 100 octane leaded Race Gas. All year long the Mike Follmers FZR boats were taken care by R&Ds Bill Chapin.
