I realize that for allot of us with winter there isn't anything but frozen water but how about we start a discussion, how about What are you building, How to install an inboard properly - gas or electric.

How about some discussion on how to add trim tabs/plates to counter engine torque.

I'm sure that there are allot of members that have more experience than me; how about cropping up.

Default I'm in for that...

I'd like to see some pics of the inside of some nitro boats. I'm fairly new to the rc world and must drive about 300 km to the nearest hobby shop. I spend as much time there as I can but still don't really have a firm grasp on the dynamics and drive options of a well balanced really hot boat. If you guys and gals can, I'd sure appreciate it if you could post some pics. At the risk of getting a bunch of well deserved, stern criticism, I'll start by posting a picture of the innards of my jet boat. Looking forward to some feedback!

Wow. Another jetboat fan. I just built one using the Power Drive available from Hobby-Lobby. I'm powering it with a Hacker B50-12XL and 32 cells.

What kind of drive are you using?
