We got to see the new guys in action last night!! Charlie's big Aeromarine mono ran really well. It was pretty well 'aired out' for a large hull!! Rick dusted off (literally!!) a 45 Outboard mono. After a few needle adjustments (mucho richer!!) it was making laps around the buoys. Great looking hull. My son Tom wheeled our Thunderboat and Gas Sport Hydro's for a few tankfuls (Tom only collected one buoy. That's a low count for him!!). He did a great job driving the Gas Sport Hydro and had it cook'in. He did have one spin trying to keep it from blowing off down the back straight. The '360' rivaled Neils Rigger spin a few weeks ago!! We threw in the Cobra2 with OS power for a few runs too. It just seems a lot slower that the VS1 and TS3 efforts earlier. I noticed that it is spraying quite a bit of water off the right sponson from mid ship back. That might be an indication that the prop torque is rolling the hull bit to the right. We were using an X437/3. I think we need a weekend day to use the setup board and test a series of props to see if we can free it up. Roger
