Trip to the Pond
Met up with Dennis today, ran the boats at a local pond and took a couple if videos. It was crazy windy, still doing some adjustments to my boat but it was still fun. Looking forward to the meet in Ocala. Oh yea, turn down your volume because the wind will drive you crazy!!

At least it skipped and didnt fly!! After you let off the gas it glides forever...hit the bank twice and plus at some point my steering linkage bent and would only turn in one direction

Replaced the steering linkage...made it out on a less windy day to see if the motor angle is right. It seems to run good for the most part....I had a question in which I started a new tread.
Heres a video of todays trip.

RE: Trip to the Pond
I forgot to tell ya'll something funny about the other day when Dennis and myself met up. I wish I could've got it on video cause it was so funny, I was running the Alligator tours boat in all that wind....it was doing awesome...til I was running sideways with the wind and a big ole gust of wind caught her and she was gone in less the a split second...upside down...looked like a dead tarpons silver belly sticking barelyup out of the water!!! It was the best flip ever!!!
