Status: offline 		sweet. post some pics if you do repair the floor. chances are that if its greyish colour under the plastic , then you may have to pull up the rotton parts and make a new floor for it same way i did. if you do have to then use some windex and wipe the nitro fuel off.... hopefully my buddy can make me an aluminum tank and exhaust for back. if he does i will post pics of the new tank and exhaust ... good luck with the teardown and repair. as for the rest of my boat my decals and guys should be painted and on maybe tommorow. , but final assembly of the engine and elecs wont be till i get a tank ....

Status: offline 		yeahm its not soft yet, but was cracked when i got it and I just epoxied enough of it to run safely, got the orange on tonigt, will apply a second coat before bed(now) and then do the black tomorrow so maybe later tomorrow ill have pics, also like i mentioned an airplane style tank will work nicely, most raceboats use them(a small one about the size of the original)...I'd avoid aluminum wherever possible, these boats already have to fight alot of wieght so any more is only gonna hurt performance more, stock i think they only make 20mph or so, mine is cruising in between 25-30 somwhere right now, Id like to get a solid 30 out of it, I also may look into removing the stock turn fin and addingm twin aftermarket ones, cuz I have spun mine out and it scares the crap outta ya when it does(i think it will roll every time it does it) so go easy on the steering when your getting used to it do to the steerable outdrive...hopefully mine will be done totally very soon...should have teverything but the repair work done tomorrow...

Status: offline 		didnt get there yet, as i said it is still runable, but its more so a problem of a long crack than rotted material so I think a little patch will do fo it, but im def. gonna clean it out good, as for making fins, till I buy aluminum, cut it, bend it, drill i can buy a set cheap and know they are right...or maybe a set of carbon fiber ones....hmm...ill have to think bout it, just hoping to get the paint done tonight, I wont be painting the drivers and they arnt ever used...I let that open when I run, more airflow into the engine compartment to cool it, feed it, and also help keep the pipe a little cooler under the cowling...hasnt been a problem yet...

Status: offline 		Well,

I can not say I am a Nito Vee person, as the pictures you are seeing from Nito_veedriver is my old boat!

Looks like you have some very cool changes to the boat! You are going to have a great time with it! I still prefer the air, but the boat is always fun to drive.

One mod I did see when I first got the boat was to put two fins on instead of the one in the middle. The pictures I saw had them towards the outside of each side on an angle so they grabbed better in the corners. Looked like a cool idea other than more drag.

I don't remember where I saw it though.

Hope you enjoy and that you get out there soon!

Craig
