Al Copeland Jr. talks about boat building 

RIP Al ! Always a good time at the races with ya in the 80's and 90's!

In true Al Copland style..go big or go home...I saw him at the key West races in 86 ..the equipment this guy brought with him to races was just totally awesome..

I hope they use a computer to run the front wing, so it will push the front end down before it can blow over.

That boat sits in Slidell behind a gate. It's sad to look at it just sitting there

Thanks and thanks to the late sherrif copeland CAPE GIRARDEAU missouri 63755 little bobby joe bruffett junior usa 🇺🇸

So what happened? Both sad and disappointing to see this project simply abandoned.

wheres the video of Phenomenon on the water going 320???

So is the prop record still at 220mph?

Buy a superboat from lindenhurst long Island

WOW,Al, RIP.

The boat never ran right.

I believe you went in the wrong direction with this project. Ken Warby showed the way with his small one engine shovelnose hydro. Simple design simple construction very few moving parts unlike Phenom which is about as big and complicated as you could have possibly made it. Scrap that huge, ungainly, complicated cat, build a small, simple boat like Warby's and you MIGHT be successful. With Phenom the odds are you won't be.
