Status: offline 		Plop that turn fin off on the left...less weight...!!!!!! Is that a carbon 3 blade on it or 2? Does that cowling have any holes in it to let the hot air out and fresh air into it or are those little black stickers on the back to "look like a hole"?

I like Green so i think that hull is CRAZYYYYYYYYYY

Status: offline 		Yeah, the left turn fin will probably be tossed off to the side after I make a few passes with it if not before-hand.
The scoop over the winshield decal is real as are the two vents on the rear of the hatch. I may run mine "topless" just because my other mono's don't have them.
there is a chunk of foam up in the bow but I may add another piece for insurance as there is a lot of room on the starboard side. The hatch if used could use a chunk of some kind of floatation material added just in case it comes off during a possible flip.
I won't give out all of what I plan to do with it but leak a little out at a time. Most of the things are no-cost items or cost just a few cents. I'd hate to try something out, let everyone know then discover that it didn't do what I though would.
I didn't think that I'd like the green but it looks much better in person than what it does in any picture that I've seen.

Here is a video that my son shot at the show with Mike doing a little presentation of the boat: http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g67/floatsfast/?action=view¤t=CLIP0054.flv

BTW, what's up with the hat and dark glasses? You're not trying to hide your identity are you?

Status: offline 		The glasses aren't really that dark, I don't know why they look that way. The tint helped to cover my blood-shot eyes as I only had 3 hours sleep before heading to Toledo.
As for the hat, I can't find my RCU hat so I had to wear that as a Red Wings fan plus it wasn't all grubby from work.

Status: offline 		I've got to thank Russ also for the boat as it was he and Mike that donated it to me. If today and tomorrow wasn't so busy with other things that have ot be done it might have been on the water already. Friday or Sunday looks like my best shots as right now they are predicting thunderstorms for Saturday.

I took it down to a LHS today to show it off. One of the electric car racers there is looking at the Super-Vee as they have a red one now sitting there. I just finished installing a Ni-MH 5-cell battery pack iin it and upgraded to a Futaba 2PL because I had one.

Status: offline 		Ron, To bad my electric version is gonna run right off and leave yer nitro version! Errr.....well.... for about 5 mins

Nice boat ron! congrats!

Everyone else, don't think for a second ron and I ar'nt gonna race here in about a month or so. I've got a stock prop that I can throw on, as ron can use his too we can have a pretty fair race and see. In all honesty I would bet both boats are really close in performance.


Anyone know how much this things weighs fuled up on a 5-cell pack ready to rip?

Status: offline 		No idea on the weight with them loaded but we ought to get them on the water at the same time just to do a speed comparison. It's pretty much stock out of the box with nothing done yet to improve performance. I did take the left turn fin off but that would only take a minute to bolt back on. I ought to have Mark bring me up a gallon of 45% to bring it down to where most people would run theirs instead of my 65%.
I was going to port match the header but it looks like Aquacraft did a good job there so I left it alone.
If you whip on me too much I can always pull my NR .21 carb off the OS .12!
